Sake and Tea Theory
This work was written by Ranshuku Genshu, the 53rd abbot of Myoshinji Temple, and discusses the relative merits of sake and tea.
Genshu, the abbot of Otsuji Temple and the 53rd abbot of Myoshinji Temple, tells the story of Bouyu-kun, who drinks sake on a straw mat among the flowers, and Johanshi, who drinks tea by the pine tree, who take turns praising each other's virtues and debating each other, until a lazy man appears and admonishes them, saying that neither could have been born without water and that they should stop fighting, and the matter ends happily without a fight.
An iron bowl that has been around for over 1,000 years
The future iron bowl of Master Ganjin
The iron bowl of the monk Ganjin Washorai, which had been at Kaizenji Temple in Kokura, had severely rotted at the bottom, so he asked a craftsman in Kyoto to repair it, and it was later donated to Yotokuin Temple, with whom he had a connection. The bottom shows impressive repair marks where the iron pieces were connected with thin iron.
