I found this word in a book by Linda Sue Parks (A Single Shard) that one of my students' reading groups will be reading soon. In doing some preliminary research on vocabulary in the book, I found this word. It brought to my mind the jade green color that I was familiar with (like Martha Stewart often talks about her collection of dishes). I hope that my students will like this book, even though it is set in Korea in the past, I hope that all the students reading it will find something in this book to relate to. I really like this word because it sounds exotic yet some of the things made with this style or color are very utilitarian yet this color makes it seem ethereal.
