Decorating the Toko Alcove - Calligraphy and Paintings for Tea Rooms
Discount
0PostsThe tea ceremony (cha no yu), or ways of drinking green tea (matcha and sencha), was imported from China and has distinctly evolved according to the culture and climate of Japan. A wide variety of tea utensils were discovered through the ages, and specific pieces were known to be favored at certain periods. The tea ceremony classics Nanbō-roku records that “kakemono hanging scrolls are the most important in cha no yu”, and various kakemono hung in toko alcoves came to represent the masters’ tastes. The exhibition will explore what kinds of calligraphy and paintings were prized as hanging scrolls in the tea ceremony, focusing on the collection of the Idemitsu Museum of Arts.
