Roji


Once you step onto the Roji, that's the start of ceremony.

But Japanese Tea Ceremony actually starts when you know, you are invited for the occasion.
It's the event that Teishu (host) and Kyaku (guest) performs to have a ultimate cup of tea for the spiritually higer level of moment. It's easy for me to meditate during the ceremony.

Cha-no-yu, the Japanese Tea Ceremony is a part of SADŌ (aka. Cha-Do) , the way of tea.
I suppose that it's the Zen like concept that anyone can practice and enjoy.

Cha-Jin doesn't have a clear definition, just in vague state like anything else in Japan. Chajin is a person who is into Sado, I suppose, all tea lovers can be a Chajin, but one has to be Fu-Ryu or Iki person.
