- Description
A unique calligraphic work with “Ippuku Enju” written on the Japanese teapot painting. “Ippuku Enju” is a Zen word that means “a heart that can be grateful for small happiness leads to longevity.” This work is a very unique work by Japanese-style painter Ōmori Tadanori, who drew a teapot while playing words with “一服 Ippuku (Drinking tea and taking a rest)”, which has the same pronunciation as 一福 Ippuku (small happiness). The message telling “it is important to have a heart that can thank you for the happiness of drinking a cup of tea” can be read from this work and is very tasty. I wonder if the monks drawn around the teapot were drinking tea and talking about this Zen word. Each person’s facial expression is different, and it is a work that stirs up various imaginations.
