Kiyomizuyaki Teapot for Sencha by Seishō, Featuring the “Seven Bowls of Tea Song”
This is an introduction to a teapot for brewing sencha, made in Kiyomizuyaki, a renowned style of Kyoto pottery.
This teapot is designed specifically for pouring high-quality teas, such as gyokuro, which are commonly used in the Japanese tea ceremony.
The teapot is crafted from white porcelain and features a poem titled “Seven Bowls of Tea Song” by the Chinese poet Lu Tong (Lu Tong), inscribed on its surface.
Lu Tong, a poet from the late Tang dynasty, composed this poem when he was gifted the finest, freshly harvested tea by his friend Meng Jianyi, a gesture worthy of an imperial offering. The poem reads as follows:
One bowl moistens the throat and lips,
Two bowls dissolve solitude and sorrow.
Three bowls clear the bowels and stir the spirit,
For the mind, five thousand scrolls of wisdom are contained in them.
Four bowls release a light sweat,
Dispelling all the daily troubles, scattering through the pores.
Five bowls purify the skin and bones,
Six bowls connect the drinker to the divine spirits.
Seven bowls, reaching a state of enlightenment,
I feel as though I am transported by the breeze to the immortal mountain of Penglai,
And long to return home, riding the gentle winds of this clarity.
In the poem, the progression of the bowls represents a journey of physical and spiritual cleansing, from the refreshing sensation of the first bowl to the transcendence and enlightenment of the seventh.
The teapot itself has a rounded shape, is compact, thin, and light, exuding a delicate and refined atmosphere. Its craftsmanship demonstrates exceptional skill in pottery.
The lid’s knob is shaped like a flower, making it easy to handle, and adds an elegant touch, making this teapot a truly luxurious piece.
