about

Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage.

In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements.

The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism.

Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence.

It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order.

It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.


茶は薬用として始まり後に飲料となる。

中国においては八世紀に高雅な遊びの一つとして詩歌の域に達した。

十五世紀になり日本はこれを高めて一種の審美的宗教、すなわち茶道にまで進めた。

茶道は日常生活の俗事の中に存する美しきものを崇拝することに基づく一種の儀式であって、純粋と調和、相互愛の神秘、社会秩序のロマン主義を諄々と教えるものである。

茶道の要義は「不完全なもの」を崇拝するにある。いわゆる人生というこの不可解なもののうちに、何か可能なものを成就しようとするやさしい企てであるから。
