Design of Cha no Yu
─From Spring to Summer

The tradition of enjoying tea from China has long reflected the esthetics of the Japanese people, developing into its own culture of tea. During the Edo period, tea masters arranged tea utensils according to the four seasons and seasonal flora to decorate the tea room and serve the guests. This exhibition presents a selection of works that represents the passing of the seasons, from spring full of blooming plants and flowers to early summer brimming with young leaves and towards a hot summer. We hope you enjoy the feeling of each yeartime through the seasonal designs of tea utensils.
