    Two ceramic bowls containing bright green matcha powder are placed side by side on a white cloth or towel. The left bowl has a matte gray-beige glaze, while the right bowl features a glossy black interior glaze with a pedestal base. Both bowls appear to be traditional Japanese chawan (tea bowls) prepared for a matcha tea ceremony.

    Green tea powder sits in a cup before being stirred and warmed during the closing portion of the mikan-giving ceremony at the Matthew C. Perry Elementary School here Feb. 5, 2013.
    The mikan is regarded as a symbol of Japan's prominent agricultural export business. Twenty boxes of mikans were given to the school. The children offered American sweets, showing their appreciation for the mikans.
