[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools hanging scroll (kakejiku)] One line, Shunsui Manshizawa, by Kobayashi Taigen

●Spring water fills all the streams (Spring water fills all the streams)…With spring coming, all the streams are overflowing with water from the melting snow.
It is a state of mind in which one is free from attachment and immersed in the world of natural law.
This is the first line of "Poems of the Four Seasons" (Spring waters fill the four lakes; Summer clouds are many strange peaks; Autumn moon shines brightly; Winter mountains are beautiful fox-like pines) by Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China.
