「In the tea-room the fear of repetition is a constant presence.
The various objects for the decoration of a room should be so selected that no colour or design shall be repeated.
If you have a living flower, a painting of flowers is not allowable.
If you are using a round kettle, the water picher should be angular.
A cup with a black glaze should not be associated with a tea-caddy of black lacquer.
In placing a vase or an incense burner on the tokonoma, care should be taken not to put it in the exact center, let it divide the space into equal halves.
The pillar of the tokonoma should be of a different kind of wood from the pillars, in order to break any suggestion of monotony in the room. 」 (From the Book of Tea-the Tea-Room, pp.71-72, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Tokyo, Japan)
In this chapter, you could understand the essential concepts of beauty in the tea-room decoration.
I think the most important is the essence of space dividing.
You need to remember the Abode of Vacancy.
The beauty concepts are incomplete and unsymmetrical in the dynamic, temporal aesthetic mood.
