"The Orchid Pavilion"

"The Orchid Pavilion" (兰亭曲水, Lan Ting Qu Shui) depicts a scene of mountains, streams, people, and pavilions in nature from ancient China (A.D. 353). It expresses literary and cultural themes. "Lan Ting" means "The Orchid Pavilion," with "Ting" referring to a pavilion with pillars and a roof. "Qu Shui" means "winding stream."

This scene shows Chinese intellectuals gathering together to compose poetry.

Japan has absorbed Chinese culture since ancient times, especially in literature and calligraphy. Thus, "The Orchid Pavilion" is closely related to the roots of Japanese literature.

In this art, you can see Kodo Yoshikawa’s intricate carving techniques. Enjoy the details in the depiction of trees, rocks, mountains, and calligraphy. Kodo's carving technique has been recognized as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan.

The combination of deep and shallow carving, and the contrast of near and far, hard and soft, provide much to enjoy. Carved rocks and mountains highlight the smooth texture of the red clay.

Each time you observe this art, you discover something new.

Yoshikawa Kodo's pine tree carving is particularly beautiful, serving as a major focal point of the scene. He notes that carving trees is the most time-consuming part, yet it reveals exquisite detail and beauty.

The art immerses you in the scene of "The Orchid Pavilion," with water flowing through the landscape. The calligraphy and the artwork are harmoniously integrated.

This is the "Lan Ting Xu," the preface to a collection of poems created in the scene. It is highly regarded in both China and Japan and is considered a cornerstone of calligraphy.

This teapot is one of the highest grades of Japanese teapots, esteemed for its art, quality, and functionality. Please enjoy it.
