Everyday beauty colored by the harmony of scent and vision

In the tea ceremony, flowers with strong scents are avoided, and if they are used, buds are often chosen.

The reason for this is to avoid interfering with the aroma of the incense being burned in the tea room.
Flowers help us visually experience the changing of the seasons and enhance the tranquil beauty of the tea room.

Incense, on the other hand, brings a sense of tranquility and calm to the tea room with its gentle fragrance, helping visitors escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enter a meditative state.

In this way, the tea ceremony emphasizes the harmony between scent and sight, creating a space that calms the mind and allows one to feel the beauty of the four seasons.

The tea ceremony's principle of harmony between aroma and sight is kept in mind in many aspects of daily life.

1. **Home Decoration**:
When decorating your home, you might create a theme for each room, taking into account both the visual and olfactory experience.
In your living room, add visually pleasing artwork and flowers, while using lightly scented candles and diffusers to promote relaxation.

2. **Creating a restaurant atmosphere**:
In restaurants, careful consideration is given to the interior design and selection of flowers to ensure that the aroma of the food comes to life.
Flowers with strong scents are often avoided, and instead colorful, mildly scented flowers are used to enhance the taste and aroma of the food.

3. **Office environment adjustments**:
In the workplace, the visual and scent elements of the space are coordinated to enhance productivity and comfort.
For example, relaxation spaces are furnished with visually soothing plants and art, and the scents chosen are calming to reduce stress.

These examples show how sight and smell coexist and complement each other in our daily lives, making our environments more pleasant and functional.
