A well-known story about the tea master Sen no Rikyū tells that Toyotomi Hideyoshi heard that morning glories were blooming beautifully in Rikyū’s garden, and went to see them. When he arrived, there was not a single morning glory in the garden.
In the tearoom, one flower of vivid color stood alone in the alcove. Hideyoshi was delighted, and Rikyū received a generous reward.
