Teacup from Tea Set with Chinese Landscape

Seifū Yohei III (Japanese, 1851–1914) · 1893–1914

This cup shows a man rowing a little skiff, which disturbs the otherwise still water. Behind him in the distance is an open-air pavilion. He is making his way toward a pair of figures playing a board game, much like the scene on the teapot. Down the hill from them is a residence; beyond this, a flock of geese approaches through the sky.
