Description
-
Two water vessels play a key role in the Japanese tea ceremony—one for cold and the other for hot water. Cold water is ladled from a ceramic vessel in order to heat it up in an iron pot, or to clean other tea utensils. The cold-water pot has the form of an old tree trunk, while the pot for heating the water has an irregular and rust-colored surface. The idea of the imperfect, the incidental, is of great significance in the tea ceremony, and is intended to serve as a foil for the precision of the tea-drinking procedure and the perfection of the tea itself.
(Wieninger, Johannes)
