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

The original seal is hand-carved in Tokyo by the artist Satake Hōsen. Its impression is reproduced as a print on the garment.
