CHADÔ – THE JAPANESE WAY OF TEA
in the Urasenke Style

WA KEI SEI JAKU
(after a calligraphy by
Sôshitsu Sen XV)

"What is the most important at a tea gathering?" a pupil asked Sen nô Rikyû.

  • Prepare a delicious bowl of tea;
  • Arrange the charcoal so, that it heats the water;
  • Arrange the flowers, as they grow in the field;
  • In summer suggest a feeling of coolness, in winter one of warm comfort;
  • Prepare everything on time;
  • Be prepared for rain,
  • And give those, with whom you gather, your entire heart.
"I can already do all this ..."
"...then I wish to become your student!"
