「One of the first requisites of a tea-master is the knowledge of how to sweep, clean, and wash, for there is an art in cleaning and dusting.
A piece of antique metal work must not be attacked with the unscrupulous zeal of the Dutch housewife.
Dripping water from a flower vase need not be wiped away, for it may be suggestive of dew and coolness.」 (From the Book of Tea-The Tea-Room, p.64, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Tuttle, Vermont-Tokyo, Japan)
This is the Reason that the Way of Tea is the culture of daily life.
If you are a Man to be the Master minds of Tea-Drinking, you have to behave like the Man of delicate & sensitive about every tinny matters.
You have to be the Man of refined & elegant about every movements & manners.
