Rinpa is a modern term that refers to a distinctive style of Japanese pictorial and applied arts that arose in the early seventeenth century and has continued through modern times. Literally meaning ‘school of Korin,’ Rinpa derives its name from Ogata Korin (1658–1716), a celebrated painter from Kyoto. It embraces art marked by a bold, graphic abbreviation of natural motifs, frequent reference to traditional court literature and poetry, the lavish use of expensive mineral and metallic pigments, incorporation of calligraphy into painting compositions, and innovative experimentation with new brush techniques. Transmitted by means of pattern books and manuals, the work of the Ogata Korin inspired numerous other craftsmen.

Titled ‘Brewing Tea’, the poem is collected in the First Anthology of Imperial Poetry, and has been translated by S.W. Bushell as follows: Finest tribute tea of the first picking And a bright full moon prompt a line of verse A lively fire glows in the bamboo stove, The water is boiling in the stone griddle, small bubbles rise like ears of fish or crab. Of rare Ch’i-Ch’iang tea, rolled in tiny balls, one cup is enough to lighten the heard, And dissipate the early winter chill. (S.W. Bushell, Oriental Ceramic Art, London, 1981, p. 239).
