Image description

Aoki Mokubei made one hundred identical teapots bearing the four-character inscription from an ancient Chinese tea poem, "He who desires to know the pure, cool taste of flower buds [tea] must be the man of sleeping clouds and creeping stones." Mokubei made the pots for a tea gathering planned for the spring of 1833 at Kitano Shrine, Kyoto. The grand affair was to be in celebration of the festival of plum blossoms for which the shrine was famous.
