Answer to Question 1
The appreciation of tea in Japan grew up within the climate of Zen Buddhism thought, and the rituals associated with it share Zen's appreciation for what is natural, spontaneous, and austere. The objective was to clear the mind and focus attention on humble, everyday objects. The tea bowls were designed to complement this concept. The uneven surfaces on the vessel created by the tea-master Hon'ami Koetsu are designed to please the eye and hand, and the subtle glaze is drawn from nature's palette.
Answer to Question 2
A masterpiece for the monumental Indian Hindu religion is the Kandariya Mahaveda temple. Similar to the construction system of cathedrals, Indian architects worked with post-and-lintel construction techniques, but unlike the massive interiors of European cathedrals, which were required for large congregations, the interior of the temple is smaller. Hindu religious practices are not based in congregational, but individual, worship. As cathedrals represent the expression of Christian ideals, Hindu temples are conceived as a cosmic mountain that houses a statue in which the deity is believed to be present.
