Description

A simple tea bowl brushstroke and a few calligraphic characters are enough to capture the quiet concentration of the Japanese tea ceremony. On unbleached paper, undyed ink traces the outline of a chawan with a loose, confident stroke, while a short calligraphy above completes the motif. The reduced, almost sketch-like visual language recalls the aesthetics of Zen and invites the viewer to pause.

The hanging scroll bears the signature and seal of Daiki Tachibana (1899-2005), a Japanese painter and calligrapher of the Shōwa period. In his work, pictorial brevity and calligraphic precision merge into an image that suggests more than it spells out - very much in the spirit of the tea ceremony itself, where every gesture carries meaning.

Painted on paper and mounted in the classical hanging scroll form with a wooden rod, this unique work is suited both to lovers of reduced Japanese ink painting and to all who feel connected to the spirit of Chanoyu. A stylish eye-catcher for quiet rooms and a piece of living Japanese tea culture.
