Challenge 2 Mike’s Visit to Kyoto 語で茶道 英 Temae
Temae is the procedure for performing chado. There are some styles to perform it.
In any of the styles,
the host and the guests enjoy the time as the only chance to meet each other.
This idea is called ichigo-ichie.
Chashitsu
A chashitsu, or tea room, is usually a room of four and a half tatami mats. It has a fireplace built into the tatami floor.
When the room is prepared for a temae, the guests are invited in through a small door.
Then the host and the guests share the precious time
through serving and drinking matcha, or powdered green tea.
Kakemono
A chashitsu has a special area called a tokonoma.
You will find a hanging scroll and a small case of flowers there. On the scroll, we often see wa-kei-sei-jaku or other words like that. The host explains the decorations.
In that way, he shows that he wants to welcome his guests. 点前
点前は、茶道を行うための手順です。それを行うためのいくつかのスタイ ルがあります。どのようなスタイルの中でも、主人と客が、お互いに出会う 唯一の機会としての時間を楽しみます。
この考え方は、一期一会と呼ばれています。
茶室
茶室は、たいてい四畳半の畳の部屋です。そこには、畳の中に作られた囲 炉裏があります。その部屋が点前のために準備された時、客は小さなドアを 通って中に招待されます。それから、主人と客は、抹茶の提供や飲むことを 通して、貴重な時間を共有します。
