A time-honoured tradition in Japan, the tea ceremony is a quintessential experience elevated to a true art form in which every step is precisely defined and choreographed. Equally important is the very philosophy behind this classic ritual, which promotes an atmosphere of solitude that allows one to reflect upon living a more harmonious life. This same positive energy mirrors another favourite symbol in Japanese culture - the dragon. Representing good fortune, dragons are believed to be protectors, guardians and bearers of harmony. And now, these timeless traditions come together in a teacup dragon figurine steeped in peace and good fortune. Introducing the Harmony Figurine by acclaimed artist Kayomi Harai, a limited edition available exclusively from The Hamilton Collection.

Masterfully crafted of artist's resin and painted by hand, admirers of Kayomi's artistry and fantasy art alike will love her first-ever dragon figurine. Every detail, from the wide-eyed expression of this bright green dragonling to the golden Yin and Yang symbol, is created with attention and care. Even its colour is deeply symbolic! Awash in a palette of exotic green hues, this sweet dragonling\'s brilliant colour represents the balance and harmony found in nature, which is also believed to help restore our sense of restfulness and well-being. Plus, Japanese characters signifying the concept of "Harmony" grace the glossy teacup\'s bottom stamp. This treasure is sure to make a powerful addition to your dragon decor and a charming fantasy gift for someone special.
