The Way Of Tea
overlooking the PATH:
Subjective impressions
and views on philosophy und aesthetics
of
CHADŌ, the Way Of Tea
seen through the eyes of a Chajin
– a "teaperson"
and above the flowers the mist hovers.
They stand one before the other
and compete in abundant magnificence.
I say, both are foremost enjoyments of this world:
wine as wine and tea as tea.
Shu-cha-ron (wine – tea-discourse)
