[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, short poems] Handwritten: Clear stream, endless flow, Clouds, flowing water, Clouds, leisurely water, White clouds, mysterious stone, by Fukumoto Tsuneo

● Clear stream that flows endlessly (Seiryu kandanashi)... A clear stream that flows endlessly. Things that are constantly active, like a precious clear stream, maintain their freshness. It means that constant effort and training are important.
●Kouunryusui (flowing clouds and water)...A metaphor for acting naturally, without getting too attached to things, like clouds moving through the sky or flowing water.
It is also an analogy for something not having a fixed form, but rather changing naturally and smoothly.
"Gyōun" means clouds passing through the sky. "Ryūsui" means flowing water. It is also sometimes used as an analogy for Zen monks who travel around the country to train.
●Clouds float leisurely in the blue sky, and it is unclear whether they are moving or still, but the water appears to be flowing smoothly without a moment's rest.
●White Clouds Embracing Mysterious Stones…A heavenly scene in which a mysterious mountain of huge stones is enveloped in soft, gentle white clouds.
A relationship that is grand, yet soft and warm, with a sense of compassion. When there are no restrictions around you and your heart is free, what will you embrace? (Poem by Hanshan)
