The whole ideal of Teaism is a result of the Zen concept of greatness in the smallest incident of life. In 16th century Japan, Teaism was indurated by Rikyu Sen (1522 - 1591) as the Wabi Cha style, which emphasizes nature and simplicity. Teaism encourages the appreciation of tea, art, flowers, the subtleties of the four seasons, and so on, and is best practiced in quiet surroundings, far from crowds of people.
Representative flowers in each season in Japan are drawn on this matcha bowls. Spring: cherry blossoms and plum. Summer: pine and bamboo grove. Autumn: chrysanthemum and maple. Even in Kyo-Yaki (Kyoto style ceramic art), Mr. Furugaki is one of the rare, few artists today creating such fine, elegant designs in such decorative detail.
