Thus the animated though very quiet
conversation relative to the artistic sue

largest about ten mats.
The decoration and the colors Of the
walls are very carefully studied. Not
too much, not too little. the moderate
or medium Is the principle which the Jap
anese use. The thing that is entirely
disgusting TO them is the cheap and
fancy
Facing toward the garden there will
be paper windows which are framed in
polished bamboo. Opposite 70 these
there Is the -Tokonoma.' in which on
the wall are hanging one or three pic
tures-the number differs according 10
mistress. Before them are placed the
flowers. very carefully arranged in fine
old flower vase.
In front OF the "Tokonoma" there is
thel fireplace and the seat where the mis-
trees win make tea and serve It, The
fireplace Is very different from any with
which Oocidentals are familiar. 1t is
sunken in the floor. In summer a fire
bowl is used instead OF the fireplace.
The seats Of the guests are in a row
In front of the windows. The utensils
used in the the tea ceremony are a
fireplace, a kettle, O pitcher. q teacup, q
bamboo spoon, a tea caddy, bowl into
which the waste water Ia thrown, a ladle
and bamboo instrument with which
the tea Is stirred and diluted.
A special tea is used for this purpose.
Usually 1t has a yellow green color and
is powdered. A silk napkin red or pur-
pie in coloris carried by the mistress and
by each guest.
No one can get true picture Of these
several articles 90 long as he imagines
them from the tea making utensils with
which he Ia familiar. For instance, the
tea cups he would expect to be thin cups
with Japanese womens figures or flowers
In all sorts Of oolors on them, but as
a matter OF fact the teacups which the
Japanese like are little colored.
There Is some very valuable china
called -Kutan,' which has all oolors
upon 1t; however, II Ia more refined than
that which s seen In the Japanese stores
OF this country. The cup that Is used
In the tea ceremony Is very queer. 1t Is
about four inches In diameter and usually
made by the hand Of an artist. Its color
is generally gray or light green. orna-
with the carved figures Of flowers
and Chinese or Japanese characters.
