Tsukubai, a stone basin
This is tukubai, stone basin put in the garden for tea ceremony or just eye-catcher. Guests of a tea ceremony need to wash their hands and mouth, ladling up the water, before they enter a teahouse for the ceremony.
On the surface reflect the surrounding scenery. Perhaps people in those days might look at the same scenery.
I was wondering what they thought, looking at the reflected scenery...

Very beautiful and interesting each one on its own right your recent posts Macky! Joy for the eyes and food for thought.
Thank you!
The Japanese culture around tea is very detailed. I imagine Kyoto as a witness of ancient times.
Old Japanese design is so wonderful, clear and beautiful. Is new one different ?
:P
i think they might think what would the future people think when they see this stone basin and the view in it???
great shot!

Thank you for the comments.
mimmu: the new one is the same. Correctly speaking, even the new one is made as if it were old.
jing: good idea!!
