The most important part of a tea room is its alcove, and the hanging scroll and tea utensils displayed there are the ones that are most valuable of the host’s possessions. The displayed drawings and poems were well-selected to be consistent with the theme of the tea ceremony. Especially Bokuseki, calligraphy drawn by a Zen priest, was considered be the subject of worship of the ceremony and it symbolized the mental connection between the host and his guests.
This exhibition displays some calligraphies and archaeological documents from the Fukuoka City Museum collection and explains Bokuseki drawn by Zen monks and tea masters related to Hakata.
Hakata flourished as an international port where various foreign cultures were brought in. It was also the place where the tea ceremony of Matcha powder was first introduced.
