In relation to the tea ceremony, this means that every tea gathering with its participants can only take place once at this time and in this place and cannot be repeated.\u003cbr\u003eBehind this lies the awareness of transience – an important aspect of spiritual Japanese thought.\u003cbr\u003eHe also formulated its four principles: harmony (wa), respect (kei), purity (sei), and tranquility (jaku).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese values, influenced by Zen Buddhism, shape the connection between the participants of the ceremony as well as their attitude towards the tea room and the utensils used.\u003cbr\u003eThese concepts derived from the philosophy of Wabi Sabi are reflected in the beauty of the tea room, its tranquility, and harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe simple, mindful movements of the tea teacher, the beauty of the objects used in the ritual, combined with the spirit of the host and that of their guests, create a harmony and contemplative atmosphere that is hard to resist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eAfterwards, the tea teacher shows how to prepare a bowl of matcha at home or in the office.
