Guided Tour: The Beauty of Tea Bowls<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the Long Night of Museums, the Young Friends of the German Society for East Asian Art (DGOK) are offering two guided tours on the topic \u201cThe Beauty of Tea Bowls.\u201d These events are aimed at participants in the tea gathering as well as other interested people.<\/p>\n

The tours provide in-depth insights into the criteria of beauty for tea bowls within East Asian tea culture. They explore aspects such as form, glaze, and decoration, as well as the tactile and aesthetic significance of the vessels. In addition, the development of tea ceramics will be discussed through an analysis of historical exchanges between China, Korea, and Japan. Finally, the tea bowl is considered both as a functional artifact and as an expression of cultural identity.<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong><\/p>\n

7:30 p.m.
\n8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The tours are led by Minhee Seefried-Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
