Summer camellia (also known as Sharanoki) has begun to bloom.
The neat white flowers have a very cool atmosphere.
Summer camellia, one of the Rikyu's seven selections, is a one-day flower that blooms in the morning and falls in the evening.
The appearance of blooming and scattering beautifully is said to have the meaning of "once-in-a-lifetime encounter".
It really leads to the knowledge of tea ceremony.
Rikyu may have felt this ephemerality and meaning.
