It’s a tsukubai, according to Wikipedia: “A tsukubai (蹲踞?) is a small basin provided in Japanese Buddhist temples for visitors to purify themselves by the ritual washing of hands and rinsing of the mouth (perform ablutions). This type of ritual cleansing is also the custom for guests attending a tea ceremony.”
Awesome
Thanks!
Beautiful photo!
Thank you!
Lovely–you have filled the frame with such a variety of images within the larger image and it all works. Really, really lovely, David.
Thank you so much! I recall trying this one in the past and not quite getting it right.

OOps on the larger screen I see it’s a bath not a tea tray. Well what could you expect from a “woods girl”.
