Tea Scoop
Displaying a single vein along the edge and richly textured, it truly shows the characteristic features of an Enshū tea scoop.
Case
Made of aged bamboo, it likely bears Enshū’s own kyōka (humorous verse). This calligraphy is also an unparalleled masterpiece.
“After all, a tea scoop or spatula, even if given to others, is still a bamboo from the grove.”
