But when it was introduced to Japan around the early 16th century, its imperfect appearance evoking the aesthetics of wabi-sabi caused it to be repurposed as a tea bowl. Korean tea bowls were circulated as an item of foreign luxury among Japanese military elites. Many Korean potters were abducted to Japan during the Japanese invasions (1592-98) and some settled down in Japan, such as in the Saga prefecture in Kyushu. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Park, Kyung-ja and Park Hyeong-soon. “Evolution of the Buncheong Wares in the Early Joseon Period as the White Porcelain Takes over the Taxation Supply [조선 전기 공납용 백자제작에 따른 분청사기 양식변화].” Misul sahak (2010): 291-321. page number: url: http://www.dbpia.co.kr/journal/articleDetail?nodeId=NODE01524105 Buncheong Ware [분청사기].
