다서(茶書)에서 보는 와카 和歌의 위치

초록

Viewed from tea ceremony books, Waka affords four significant implications. First, Waka provides aesthetic consciousness or ideological backgrounds for tea ceremonies. The then culture was based on poetry literature and the cultured men had knowledge of Waka, play or dance. It is therefore evident that aesthetic consciousness or forms of expression were borrowed from Waka. Second, Waka embodies didactic contents. Although the didactic writing was not originated from tea ceremonies, the embedded tone and rhythm made it easier to memorize that one’s attitude of mind towards attending tea ceremonies and ways to use tea services were expressed in forms of Waka. Third, Waka indicates personal feelings or relates the ordinary affairs of life. In most cases, tea-enjoying people were well-equipped with Waka or Renga. In fact, the tea-enjoying upscale were used to delight themselves with Waka or Renga during or after tea ceremonies by reciting and writing poems. Finally, Waka relates to the names of tea services and instruments. It was typical for people to give unique names or keep inherited names of tea services. Especially, tea services associated with Waka could attain classic beauty and authority through the stereotypical image. Although the Buddhist ideology laid a foundation of tea ceremonies, traditions and consciousness of authority with classics also affected the use of Waka or calligraphy in hanging scrolls in tea rooms.
