「Thus prepared the guest will silently approach the sanctuary, and, if a samurai, will leave his sword on the rack beneath the eaves, the tea-room being preeminently the house of peace.
Then he will bend low and creep into room through a small door not more than three feet in height.
The proceeding was incumbent on all guests,--high and low alike,--and was intended to inculcate humanity.」(From the Book of Tea-The Tea-Room, p.62, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Toky, Japan)
Passing Through the Roji, you will reach to the entrance to the tea-room.
You will find the very small door, from which you have to enter the tea-room.
Inside the tea-room, you will enjoy the peaceful world of humanity.
