[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, short poems] Handwritten: Plum blossoms and snow, or a branch of spring in the snow, or a wild spring herb, by Hasegawa Dai

● Plum blossoms taste the fragrance of snow (Plum blossoms taste the fragrance of snow)…Even though the white plum blossoms blend into the pure white snow and seem invisible, you can tell that spring is coming with the plum blossoms, this is a poem that captures the elegance of the plum blossom.
This song compares the plum blossoms blooming in the bitter cold to the poet himself, and describes his training as being elegant and enduring hardships.
● A branch of plum blossom blooms beneath the snow (Setsuri Isshi no Haru)…Even in the snow, a branch of plum blossom blooms, and you can feel the signs of spring.
●Harukitarinabakusao no zukarashozu (Spring grass grows naturally)...It means that the grass will naturally sprout when spring comes, but it only changes depending on the season and the fate.

The temple was founded in 1579 by three people, Ishida Mitsunari, Asano Yukinaga, and Mori Tadamasa, with the founder being the Priest Shun'yaku, and is famous as the training ground for Priests Takuan and Sen Sotan.
Among the disciples of the monk Haruya were the monks Gyokumuro and Kogetsu Sogan, who fought against the evil decrees of the Tokugawa Shogunate and showed the dignity of Daitokuji to the world. It is well known that Konoe Nobutada, Kuga Atsuyuki, Furuta Oribe, Yabuuchi Kenchu, Kobori Enshu, Kuroda Nagamasa, Kuwayama Shigeharu, Seta Sobe, and Yamaoka Somuto all practiced Zen here.
