Wa Kei Sei Jaku,,-, "harmony, respect, purity, tranquility.""Wa" stands for harmony. As there is harmony in nature, the Teishu will try to bring this quality into the tea room and the garden around the tea house. The utensils used during the tea ceremony are in harmony with each other, so the theme is the same as well as the colors. The tea garden should be an extension of the natural flora surrounding it."Kei" stands for respect. The guests must respect all things, all matters without involving their status or position in life. They must crawl trough a small called Nijiriguchi entrance to get into the room. In the room they will all kneel down and bow to the hanging scroll, they will sit next to each other in Seiza position on the Tatami. Respect is also shown by carefully handling and observing the tea bowl and other objects during Haiken."Sei" stands for purity. Crawling into the tea room, one is to leave behind all thoughts and worries of daily life. The tea room or Chashitsu is a different world where one can re-vitalize, slow down, and enjoy the presence of friends. The gesture of purity is enhanced by the ritual cleaning of the Chawan and Kensui, Chashaku, Natsume, lit by the host. The real grand master of tea does not perform the Japanese tea ceremony from memory but from a pure heart."Jaku" stands for tranquility. Only after the first three concepts (harmony, respect, and purity) are discovered, experienced and embraced, can people finally embody tranquility. This was one of the teachings of the Japanese tea ceremony master Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591).
