In exploring the culture of Chiayi, Taiwan, designer Kenneth from Black Seed was deeply fascinated by the cultural specialty known as "Chiayi Pottery" or "Chia-Chi Pottery." These colorful ceramic sculptures are commonly found in traditional Taiwanese architecture. With the approaching Lunar New Year and the theme of lion dancing, Kenneth combined the yellow lion "Liu Bei," the red lion "Guan Yu," and the black lion "Zhang Fei" with three works from the "Yokai Weapons" series: "Yoryu-maru," "Buryu-maru," and "Kaiha-maru," creating a harmonious fusion.

Considering the technology available at the time, the painting process was mainly done with thick hand coating to achieve a texture that is more in line with Chiayi Pottery, while preserving the hand-painted traces. The traditional glaze colors were extracted from minerals and oxides, resulting in a rich and warm color palette. To simultaneously capture the luster of fired ceramics and historical traces, the glaze exhibits localized, irregular matte variations.

Through this artwork, the designer expresses the spirit of the "Yokai Weapons" series, combining innovation with the heritage of traditional culture.

在Black Seed設計師Kenneth 探索嘉義文化中，被「嘉義燒」/「交趾陶」這個文化特產深深吸引着。為台灣傳統建築中常見的色彩繽紛陶塑。適逢農曆新年將至並以舞獅為題，將南獅的黃獅「劉備」、紅獅「關羽」和黑獅「張飛」，融合與「妖怪兵器」中的御龍丸、武龍丸和海覇丸三款作品互相呼應。

塗裝考慮到當時技術，為求更乎合嘉義燒的質感，過程主要以手功厚塗為主，保留手繪痕跡。古法釉彩從礦石及氧化物中提取原料，因此用色以渾厚溫潤，光澤上為了同時具備燒陶光澤與歷史痕跡，以局部不規律的光啞變化呈現岀來。

設計師以此表達岀「妖怪兵器」系列，結合了創新與傳統文化遺產的精神。
