Tea bowl by Ogawa Takeo, with calligrapy by Shimizu Kosho. The famous "i-ro-ha poem", in which each Hiragana syllable appears exactly once: i ro ha ni ho he to chi ri nu ru wo wa ka yo ta re so tsu ne na ra mu u wi no o ku ya ma ke fu ko e te a sa ki yu me mi shi we hi mo se su Bright indeed the flowers may be, but surely not for long. In this life, who indeed, will not someday be gone? Passing beyond the furthest peak in the province of shifting streams. No longer will I drunken speak; nor gaze at shallow dreams. Transl.
