Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Omotesenke is the name of one of the three houses or families (家) that consider Sen Rikyū their family founder and are dedicated to carrying forward the Way of Tea that he developed."--Wikipedia. Note: "Tokonoma (床の間), also referred to simply as toko, is a Japanese term generally referring to a built-in recessed space in a Japanese style reception room, in which items for artistic appreciation are displayed. In English, tokonoma is usually called alcove. The items usually displayed in a tokonoma are calligraphic and/or pictorial scrolls and an arrangement of flowers. Bonsai and okimono are also often displayed there. The tokonoma and its contents are essential elements of traditional Japanese interior decoration. The word 'toko' literally means "floor" or "bed"; 'ma' means "space" or "room."-Wikipedia. Note: "Chabana (茶花, literally "tea flowers") is the simple but elegant style of flower arranging for Japanese tea ceremony. … The chabana arrangement is a seasonal expression of flowers placed in a simple vase or basket."-Wikipedia. Note: See (also) images with File Names: sl_japanteaceremony051, sl_japanteaceremony063 and Architecture Tokonoma_005. All appear to be same location.
