Tea ceremony often uses phrases or aphorisms to express its philosophy. These phrases or aphorisms are often written on the wall of the tea ceremony room by calligraphers. Calligraphy works are widely used in tea ceremony to enhance the simplicity and beauty of tea ceremony.
Tea ceremony also often uses objects on the tea table to display calligraphy works. There are usually some utensils and vases in the teahouse, which can be engraved with poems or signatures.
In a word, tea ceremony and calligraphy are interdependent partners and have a far-reaching influence on Japanese traditional culture. Both emphasize the beauty of nature, simplicity and tranquility, and respect traditional culture and philosophy.
