A Rakuyaki Bowl[1]
(January 20, at the house of Mr. Fumoto Oka)
A foolish fellow in this world
Gazes on a bowl of rakuyaki
And all by himself
Sheds tears of joy.
To speak so fondly
Of a rakuyaki bowl
In this day and age
Is, indeed, like inviting the blind
To come to see a picture.
- ↑ A famous pottery ware of Kyoto which was originated by Jokei Sasaki (d. 1609), son of a naturalized Korean. It is especially prized by tea-masters.
