Tin is close to silver, and its shining surface gives the food in summer a cool appearance. With some dewdrops on the plate it is even more refreshing.

皿鉢もほのかに闇の宵涼み
sarabachi mo honoka no yami no yoi suzumi / sara hachi

dishes and bowls
shimmer so faintly
in the cool darkness

Matsuo Basho 松尾芭蕉, 1694 summer 元禄7年夏

After the meal he was sitting on the veranda and observed how the white dishes were faintly still visible in the darkness. It is just a normal scene of daily life, but near his death, he seemed to enjoy just to be there.
