His performance for us of that time- honored ceremony was a poem of grace, dignity and tradition. Nothing could be defter than his every movement, especially the novel one to our eyes of whipping the tea powder with a fine bam- boo whisk into a frothy compound — a Chinese poet called it "Froth of the Liquid Jade!" Far back, in the time of the Tang Dynasty, tea came in cakes, and was boiled. Later, under the Sung Emperors, it was made into a powder, and whipped in hot water. Then the Mongolians ...in the thirteenth century overflowed China, sub- merging the Sungs and all their refinements, in- cluding tea etiquette. With the Ming Dynasty SOME OLD KYOTO GARDENS 131 in the fifteenth century came in the now famil- iar method of preparing tea by steeping its leaves in hot water. The Japanese beat off the Mon- golian invasion in 1281, and thus in their tea cere- mony is preserved all the early tea-cult traditions of the Sung times, lost in China. It is difficult to imagine a more pleasing combination of thoughtful precision, deftness and grace, with never a wasted motion, than the exercise of this highly prized accomphshment displays to our modern eyes, whether performed by a successor of an ancient master in the old homestead, or in the Shinto Abbot's house at I^ikko before ad- mission to the lyeyasu Shrine's Holy of Holies, or when enjoying the benign hospitality of the Chief Abbot of the Buddhist monasteries on the secluded summit of lofty Koya San.
