[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools hanging scroll (kakejiku)] One line, Gyokuunryusui or Hakukeishoukama or Momijimai Akikaze or special order by Kobayashi Taigen

●Kouunryusui (flowing clouds and flowing water)... A metaphor for acting without getting too attached to things and just going with the natural course of events. It is also a metaphor for not having a fixed form, but instead changing naturally and smoothly. ▽ "Kouun" means clouds passing through the sky. "Ryusui" means flowing water. It is also sometimes used as an analogy for Zen monks who travel around the country practicing.
●Hakkei naomigakubeshi (Hakkei can still be polished)...This means that even a perfect and precious jewel should continue to be polished.
● Autumn leaves dancing in the autumn wind (koyoshufu ni mau)… The falling autumn leaves dancing in the autumn wind, the bleak scene of late autumn. It represents the way the leaves fall, showing their true faces.
It is important for people to cast away all impurities and evil thoughts, surrender to the world, and become "mindless."
