私の日本のお茶の先生、林先生の大親友の先生のところにお邪魔させていただきました。
おばあ様、お母さまとお茶の先生をなさり、引き継がれた数々のお道具は見事なものばかりで目の保養をさせていただいてます。
天目茶碗の数々、大宗匠のお手のお軸、香合 等々。
『黄龍明珠を吐く』（こうりゅうめいじゅをはく）とお家元の手で書かれたお扇子。聖人君主は常に穢れの無い透明な真実を語っている、教えてくれているという意味だそうです。
I had a tea lesson at the home of my new tea ceremony teacher in Osaka, a close friend of my long time teacher, Hayashi sensei. Her grandmother and mother were also tea ceremony teachers, and I had the pleasure of admiring the various exquisite tools that have been passed down. Among them were numerous Tenmoku tea bowls, a calligraphy scroll by the Grand Master, incense containers, and more. Also there was a fan with the phrase “Dragon Spitting out the Pearl,” personally written by the Grand Master. This signifies that enlightened leaders always speak of a transparent truth without impurities.
