Hello:

 Aoi has posted a kogai today, AF 13730, and it is said to have a tea ceremony connection. The jar in the middle of the elements looks like a so called "official tea jar" for presentation or storage, but aside from that I am lost. Can anyone tie in the other objects to tea?

Dear Arnold.

 

Forgive the temerity but I am wondering if Aoi have the wrong end of the stick with this one.  Perhaps I can see Daikoku's mallet and this leads me to suggest that they are in fact attributes of deities rather than tea ceremony items.  Have a look here, http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/objects-symbols-weapons-senju.html

 

All the best.

Hi:

 Thanks Geraint for the useful reference. When referring to Aoi descriptions and interpretations "temerity" is hardly a consideration as they are very error prone and will usually fail to correct pointed out mistakes. The piece is nice but the only thing that seemed to fit at all is the jar.
