Chawan Taro

Its color palette reminds us of the ocean depths, hence the name inspired by a Japanese legend. The tale tells the story of a young fisherman named Tarō, who one day saw children tormenting a small turtle while fishing. Tarō saved the turtle and released it back into the sea. The next day, a giant turtle, possibly a thousand years old, appeared before him draped in seaweed. The turtle revealed that the one he saved was Oto-hime, the daughter of the Sea Emperor, who wished to meet him to express his gratitude. Using magic, the turtle gave Tarō a pair of gills and guided him to a magnificent palace at the bottom of the sea.
