Description
A "card game" for the Way of Tea, modeled after a favorite New Year's game known as the "One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each" (Hyakunin Isshu). There are several versions of the original game, one in which the name and portrait of the poet appears on one card and must be matched with the corresponding poem on another card, or simply the first lines of the poem appear on one card and must be matched with remaining lines on another card. Here the same principle is applied to what is known as Rikyu's One Hundred Poems, wherein guidance about gesture and handling of tea utensils as well as mental attitude are expressed in poetic form.
