No. 16 The Lucky Tea

The 'Lucky Tea' Kakemono is a calligraphy scroll dedicated to illustrating a famous Haiku by Issa:

Going outside,
Plum blossoms dive in...
My lucky tea

Kakemonos - usually placed in a niche as one enters the house [ t o k o n o m a ] - are meant to encourage one towards reflection on the current season and introspection as well - perhaps before savouring a cup of tea.

The scroll is handpainted and handwritten with ink and entirely handmade.
