		More important to the development of chanoyu was the introduction, in the 12th century, of a new form of Buddhism, Zen, and a new form of tea known as "matcha," powdered green tea.
		Chanoyu took form influenced by the practices of Zen monastic life of seated meditation, chanting, and performing a variety of household tasks designed to empty one of self-centered thoughts.
		For the practicer of chanoyu it is the constant effort to hone aesthetic sense, to refine discipline and to experience the encountering of host or guest that will eventually lead to an understanding of one time/one meeting.

		Chanoyu has been referred to as the "Japanese Tea Ceremony" for many years but the word literally means hot water for tea.
		The simple art of Chanoyu is really a synthesis of many Japanese arts with the focus of preparing and serving a bowl of tea with a pure heart.
		Among the many styles of Chanoyu that are practice today, the Urasenke School of Tea, under the leadership of Sen Soshitsu XV, the fifteenth descendent of Sen Rikyu, is one of the most popular.

		The form of chanoyu that is practiced today was established in the second half of the sixteenth century, during the Momoyama period, by the tea master Sen no Rikyu.
		As an aesthetic pursuit, the tea ceremony involves the apprecia- tion of the room in which it is held, the garden attached to the room, the utensils used in serving the tea, and the decor of the setting, such as a hanging scroll or a flower arrangement.
		It was the spirit of chanoyu, representing the beauty of studied simplicity and harmony with nature, that molded the basis of these traditional forms of Japanese culture.

		In the West 'chanoyu' is generally regarded with an attitude of reverence by both the informed and the not-so-informed.
		It has been suggested that chanoyu was a dominant factor in the shaping of Japanese material culture and the development of a Japanese aesthetic.
		Chanoyu came to stand for the formal and the pretentious and sencha for what was informal, liberating, and creative.

		CHANOYU, as the tea ceremony is called in Japan, is a meditative ritual involving a group of participants and a gathering of objects, the ultimate purpose of which is to reveal the profound sacredness at the foundation of the everyday acts of our lives: of eating, drinking, moving and interacting with people and objects.
		Because of the importance of acknowledging the changing seasons in chanoyu, the first eight scrolls were chosen to illustrate what would be appropriate paired scrolls for tea ceremonies held in spring, summer, fall and winter.
		Chanoyu of the small tearoom is first of all a Buddhist spiritual practice for attaining the way.

		The host of the tea gathering, thus, prepares everything in advance to “set the stage.” Purification of all elements that enters the world of tea, including the garden with the roji, the tearoom, and the tea utensils, is the most important part of preparation.
		The manners, rules, and formalism in gesture that are visible in chanoyu can manifest themselves with a ceaseless flow only when profound attention to details has been paid by the host to prepare his/her mind for the occasion.
		Chanoyu may be described as an intellectual game requiring intense creative faculties.

		Years later, I observed another chanoyu, this time at the Urasenke Foundation Center in San Francisco where I, and a group of tea vendors, sat on tatami mats and observed two teamasters demonstrate the intricate step-by-step ceremony.
		The second chanoyu experience was more "show and tell," with two non-Japanese teachers explaining the centuries-old tradition, while a third hostess passed out beautifully shaped "sweets" and frothy bowls of green tea slowly and methodically prepared by our hosts.
		Chanoyu is a remarkable tea experience not to be missed.

		Chanoyu's new identity was based on specific rules and procedures that provide a creative environment ideal for flourishing artists as well as a peaceful place for people, from any class, to interact (Byers 13-14).
		Everything was important to chanoyu "the tea bowl, the preparation and handling of the tea implements, the quiet filtered light and simplicity of the tea room, it's scents and objects, even the movement of the people participating…(Byers, 15)." All of these elements are important to the Zen Buddhist aesthetic.
		Chanoyu and Raku are two procedures that have stemmed from wabi aesthetics and are still very important to today's traditions.

		In chanoyu every tiny detail, from utensil to atmosphere, is important to create an environment that not only satisfies the taste buds, but also produces a sense of inner peace.
		Therefore chanoyu, which is loosely translated as "tea ceremony," is more appropriately thought of as the "way of Tea" (chado).
		In the majority of works pertaining to chanoyu published during the Edo period (1600-1868), as well as during the Meiji era (1868-1912), the subject of tea utensils was taken up from the general standpoint that, as objects which represented a person’s taste (konomi), they added the crowning touch to a tea devotee’s name."

		Wabi was taken into the world of chanoyu and made its aesthetic because chanoyu encountered wabi as an aesthetic based on things.
		Wabi is usually understood in chanoyu as the negation of all luxury, extravagance, and power, producing aesthetic forms of simplicity, frugality, poverty, and the common.
		The point however, is not to be completely bereft of material possessions: Wabi does not mean to deny things, but rather to penetrate as far as possible to their true essence and therein to discern beauty.

		It was during my home stay that I discovered more about the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu) and became interested in how the ritual reflects some guiding principals in Japanese life.
		Chanoyu is the term used to describe the tea ceremony today, but the Japanese custom of drinking tea actually dates back to the ninth century, when it was introduced by the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty.
		The dignity and tranquility of the setting, as well as the graceful movements that accompany the presentation of the tea, correspond to how the Japanese respect and believe in a civil society.

		It is significant that the term chanoyu is not defined at the outset or later in the book.
		The term chanoyu, left undefined, is turned into an extremely elastic concept by a veil of rather vague spiritual, aesthetic, and idealistic notions.
		The Chajing and the other Chinese sources mentioned by Sen should be studied for their own sake and be carefully related to their own context, to the subtleties of the Chinese literati way of life and the role of connoisseurship.
