HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT AND BASIC PRINCIPLES OF TEA ARCHITECTURE IN JAPAN

This paper reviews several examples of Japanese tea architecture in order to identify its specific features in the context of its historical development. Based on this, the main principles of the formation of tea architecture in Japan are defined. The analysis is conducted in relation to three main factors that influenced the formation of tea architecture: vernacular architecture, noble architecture and the philosophical ideas of Zen Buddhism. As an example, three tea houses of the master Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591) were used, namely: Kasa-tei, Shigure-tei (Todaiji Monastery, Kyoto) and Tai-an (Myoki-an Monastery, Kyoto), and the palace of Villa Katsura (1620-1658), commissioned by Prince Toshihito. The Kasa-tei and Shigure-tei houses are characterised by active inheriting of the structural elements and forms of vernacular housing. The Tai-an is a vivid reflection of aristocratic and Zen traditions. In the architecture of villa Katsura there is an influence of several directions of aristocratic and vernacular architectural styles. In each example, the influence of these three factors was detected at several levels: in the formation of the environment of the tea house (tea garden), in the structure and composition of the buildings, in the internal space of the buildings and at the level of semantics of the complexes. Among the variety of teahouses, at each determined level the preference may be given to one or another stylistic direction. For example, the traditions of vernacular architecture in the Kasa-tei and Shigure-tei houses are increasingly expressed in the exterior of the buildings and in the overall character of the complex. The aristocratic and ascetic spirit of the Tai-an house is mainly expressed in the interior of the building. In the architecture of Villa Katsura – similar to the examples mentioned above – the tradition of vernacular architecture is mainly present in the exterior and surroundings of the building, while the interior stays within the aristocratic tradition. The basic principles of tea architecture identified in the paper are arranged according to their origin and localization of application in the final table.
