“Have you not noticed that
the wild flowers
are becoming scarcer every year?
It may be that some wise men
have told them to depart
till man becomes more human.
Perhaps they have migrated to heaven.”
~ Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea

I was cleaning my cupboard when I saw a blooming teapod
which I was sure had reached its expiration.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent glass teacup or kettle.
I still tried to check it anyway...
found an old magazine to match it
and to have a dramatic effect...
and hoped it worked great ~
