Reading
To the one who has been here before, and to the one who has not — the same three words.
No ranking, no special instruction; only the cup in front of you.
Whatever was sought is not elsewhere. It is in the drinking of the tea.
Origin
From the recorded sayings of Zhaozhou Congshen (Joshu, 778-897), the Record of Zhaozhou; the same exchange appears in the Compendium of Five Lamps, fascicle four. To the monk who had come before, to the monk who had not, and to the steward who asked why, Zhaozhou said only: go and drink tea.
Seal
Cut by hand in Tokyo by the artist. The angle of the blade and the depth of the stroke decide where the ink bleeds and where it holds. No imprint repeats.
