Roji; Kobori-Enshiu; Yearing for the Freedom that Lay in the Expanse Beyond
「Others,like Kobori-Enshiu, sought for a different effect.
Enshiu said the idea of the garden path was to be found in the following verses:
"A cluster of summer trees,
A bit of the sea,
A pale evening moon."
It is not difficult to gather his meaning.
He wished to create the attitude of a newly-awakened soul still lingering amid shadowy dreams of the past, yet bathing in the sweet unconsciouss of a mellow spiritual light, and yearning for the freedom that lay in the expanse beyond.」(From the Book of Tea-The Tea-Room, pp.61-62, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont-Tokyo, Japan)
It is clear that the Roji is the important path to the sophisticated spiritual world of Tea-drinking, the way of Tea.
