Zen Realm No.4

Evoking the mood of listening to rain in a bamboo grove, this teapot features a serene bamboo forest within. Rain falls like a curtain, bamboo leaves sway gently, and a hermit sips tea and listens to the rain from a bamboo pavilion. The entire scene is bathed in a pale cyan-gray hue, reminiscent of the misty Jiangnan rain captured in traditional ink wash paintings.

Bamboo stands tall with hollow joints, rain falls silently yet rhythmically. To capture the Zen essence of listening to rain in bamboo groves within inner painting, the viewer should feel as if they can hear the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops on leaves—a sound only audible in profound silence.
