Tea Service in Kyoto

by Bernard Mendez

Mist rests on the narrow alleyway behind a traditional machiya house in Kyoto, diffusing the early dawn light into a soft, gray haze. A shopkeeper in a dark indigo happi coat leans over a low wooden counter, carefully arranging rows of white ceramic bowls, their pearl-white rims catching the faint ambient glow. Beside the ceramics, a simple clay teapot sits steaming slightly, its rough texture against the smooth glaze of the ware. The shopkeeper’s hand reaches for a small wooden salt spoon resting near a stack of folded blue cotton napkins. In the background, a faded doormat lies damp on the stone path, and a single vine curls around a wooden support beam, its leaves heavy with moisture.
