How Chawan and Chashaku Embody Wabi-sabi and Ichi-go Ichi-e in Japanese Tea Ceremony
The Japanese tea ceremony's chawan (tea bowl) and chashaku (tea scoop) are more than functional tools; they embody the core philosophies of Wabi-sabi and Ichi-go Ichi-e. These utensils visually and functionally represent the beauty of imperfection and the appreciation for the unique, unrepeatable moment.
