Tea master Sen no Rikyū was known to have made tea with the water from this well. I like the Big Dipper 北斗七星 design in the stones along the path to the well. https://chanoyu.space/blog/2019/1/10/a-new-years-space-tea monthly 0.5 2019-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab18dc6297114e98a2db10d/1547161368487-8C8KT778YC505VJAVD77/NHK_tea_1740.JPG Blog -

choosing a kamon Some represented celestial objects by circles arranged in a simple radial design, like this "seven luminaries" (sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) 「七曜」 motif but those were way too abstracted for my taste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab18dc6297114e98a2db10d/1524150050878-PSEKU8CRO5MBMCRUCFFS/0113-250x250.jpg Blog - choosing a kamon Others depicted celestial objects inside the "negative space" of a crescent moon, like this moon-and-star 「月星紋」motif, which I object to out of astronomical pedantry. https://chanoyu.space/blog/2018/3/27/a-few-words-about-me monthly 0.5 2018-07-07 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/kimono monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/tanabata monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/Midorikai monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/constellations monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/about monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/blog/tag/cosmology monthly 0.5 https://chanoyu.space/new-page daily 0.75 2018-03-28 https://chanoyu.space/privacy-tudor daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://chanoyu.space/terms-tudor daily 0.75 2025-05-12
