Description [Updated !! Minor editing, but it makes the whole difference ! ... Not !]
茶の湯, chanoyu | Japanese Tea Ceremony.

I'm not really aware of every single particularities of this ceremony I just wanted to draw a Green Tea Set among a few delicious Washabies, those sugar candies made out of beans and served along with the green tea during the traditional ceremony.
The two japanese symbols dislayed upon the saucer and at the bottom of the tea cup are respectivly Mei and Jaku, meaning Finess/Beauty and Serenity. The overall minimalist idea here is "Serenity served by Beauty"
Chopsticks were added after a friend of mine suggested the idea. Very cool indeed !!

Another version with an empty tea cup is available in my gallery among other versions

Original creation of myself for Jaku iOS theme by William Szilveszter

More free icons (about a THOUSAND !) designed by a whole bunch of artists for this theme available on the Jaku Online Community Icon Repository [link] created by my fellow mate ~bblake . It is DAILY updated !

You got it perfectly RIGHT man !! I'm an avid fan of The Simpson show since ... damn I can't remember and that's was what I was thinking of all along the making process.

Thanks for the compliment

You know what I was thinking, why isn't there washabies crumbs on the plate? I mean the plate is too perfectly clean and what's the point of the plate if the table is getting dirty...lmao. Mmmmm, donut.... *drools.....*

Actually crumbs were added minutes before the official release . I wasn't too sure about it as it's supposed to stay very clean. If I really start to go this way then I gotta add a lot more details which will make it way less clean. Japanese are the most meticulous people in the world. I bet they don't have crumbs even after eating hundred of cookies ><
But .. I'll try to see how I can make it any better anyway. If i ever do it this way i'll notify you

You're welcome. Actually how could I not share it ... I didn't do it for my own, apparently my iPhone can not recover from its previous damage. So I can't even see it on my iDevice :/
