"Wabi" and "sabi" are the words that best express the idea of chanoyu. In this essay, I will consider how these concepts were interpreted and formed chanoyu philosophy by the successors of the founder of the way of tea Sen no Rikyu, through the words of the third generation Genpaku Sotan and the fourth generation Koshin Sosa. From Sotan's letter, it is clear that he was inclined towards "sabi" rather than "wabi". As an example, in the tea gathering, Sotan only used the minimum number of utensils in the smallest tea room. Sotan placed no value on special items or social position and led a life of poverty. He found value in simple and "roughness" things and called this idea "sabi". Koshin intended to continue in the spirit of "sabi", as can be seen in his tea writings. By "sabi" he means finding value in things as they naturally are, and the aesthetics and actions of chanoyu should be harmonized with nature. As a way of realizing this, Koshin took importance on training and through the accumulation of practice one could reach the state of "sabi" or achieve a state of mind that was at one with nature. Thus, Sotan and Koshin developed the philosophy of "sabi", which was not merely an aesthetic one, but one that sought to develop the spirit of a tea practitioner.
