Abstract
The custom of drinking tea had already taken root in Japan as early as the 8th century in the refined society, especially among aristocrats and monks. We must wait, however until we reach the 15th century to witness tea drinking as a custom of daily life or sometimes as a social occasion, becoming so highly elaborated as to assume the form of a peculiar ‘art’, and then, finally establishing itself as a unique genre called ‘the Way of tea’ in the aesthetic-spiritual tradition destined to be transmitted to present-day Japan.1
