A chawan (茶碗; literally "tea bowl") is a bowl used for preparing and drinking tea. There are many types of chawan used in East Asian tea ceremonies. The choice of their use depends upon many considerations.
Chawan originated in China. The earliest chawan in Japan were imported from China between the 13th through the 16th century. The Jian chawan, a Chinese tea bowl known as Tenmoku chawan in Japan, was the preferred tea bowl for the Japanese tea ceremony up until the 16th century. In Japan, tea was also mainly drunk from this Chinese variety of tea bowls up till about the 15th century. The Japanese term tenmoku is derived from the name of the Tianmu Mountain, where Japanese priests acquired these tea bowls from the Chinese temples to bring back to Japan.

Bailar de lejos no es bailar
Es como estar bailando solo
Tú bailando en tu volcán y a dos metros de ti
Bailando yo en el polo
Probemos una sola vez
Bailar pegados con más fuego
Abrazados al compás, sin separar jamás
Tu cuerpo de mi cuerpo
Bailar pegados es bailar
Igual que baila el mar con los delfines
Corazón con corazón en un solo salón, dos bailarines
Abrazadísimos los dos, acariciándonos
Sintiéndonos la piel, nuestra balada va a sonar
Vamos a probar, probar el arte de volar
Bailar pegados es bailar
Bailar pegados es bailar, es bailar
Verás la música después
Te va pidiendo un beso a gritos
Y te sube por los pies,
Un algo que no ves, lo que nunca se ha escrito
Bailar pegados es bailar
Igual que baila el mar con los delfines
Corazón con corazón en un solo salón, dos bailarines, oh
Abrazadísimos los dos, acariciándonos
Sintiéndonos la piel, nuestra balada va a sonar
Vamos a probar, probar el arte de volar
Bailar pegados es bailar
