Did you ever wonder what a
Japanese tea house was really for
and how the tradition originated?
Tea drinking was first prac-
ticed by Buddhist monks to keep
awake during meditation in study
halls, then later in connection
with other ceremonies.
Gradually it developed into a
gathering to discuss the artistic
merits of certain objects, such as
a scroll painting, bowl and flower
arrangements, or the treasured
utensils of the tea service.

ham galleries not only has ex-
amples, in pictures, of a Shinto
shrine, Buddhist temples, palaces
and castles, tea houses, gardens,
and contemporary architecture,
but along with them gives inter-
esting bits of information and his-
tory about Japanese architecture,
such as the tea house.
Implements of the tea ceremony
are displayed also.
The exhibit is organized histori-
cally. The first pictures are of a
Shinto shrine of a century B. C.
Shinto was the original, and still
is the dominating religion of Jap-
an.
Expression of Religion
A member of thecommittee
which organized the exhibition
said the Shinto religion is ex-
pressed in the architecture.
Shinto is a veneration of na-
ture, and a oneness of humans,
trees, animals, and all nature.
This is expressed by the simplicity
of the architecture, importance of
gardens, and the effort to achieve
unity with the house and the gar-
den.
The early priests gathered in
mystic glens or by waterfalls, not
to pray, but to contemplate and
meditate.
Rebuilt Periodically
The Shinto shrine is torn down
and rebuilt every 20 years because
in Shinto, nature does not make
monuments, but lives and dies,
always renewed and reborn.
The display contains many
views of the Imperial Palace in
Kyoto, including the moon-view-
ing platform. The Imperial Palace
exemplifies Japanese architecture
at the height of its esthetic devel-
opment.
An outstanding feature of the
old architecture is that the build-
ings are exclusively wood and are
built on short stilts because of the
many heavy rains and earth-
quakes.
The houses themselves are very
simple, and flexible. Often, only
a removable screen or panel di-
vides the rooms, or the inside from
the garden. Again this is part of
the oneness with nature.
Lack of Furniture
There is a lack of furniture
withinrthe dwellings. All people,
including the old emperors, sat
on the mats, or tatami, placed on
the floor. The rooms were kept as
bare as possible. If a piece of fur-
niture was not being used, it was
put away. A visitor might have
entered during midday, and seen
no furniture at all.
It was stored in "niches" cov-
ered by panels. This idea is ex-
pressed in modern American de-

sign by sliding doors, simple and
not space consuming as swinging
doors. There is an example of a
special niche set aside for a trea-
sured art work of the family.
Rooms were measured, not in
feet, but by the number of mats
they contained. A wealthy man
might have a "five tatami room."
As you follow the exhibit
around, you come next to the
Buddhistic influence from China.
Buddhism regarded being in the
world as an art requiring a great
personal discipline. Therefore, the
environment is organized in ac-
cord with austere philosophies.
But in the Buddhist pagodas,
the original Japanese art is still
strong, with the overall simplicity
in the curving roofs, but inlaid
with intricate detail. The result
is neither Buddhistic, nor Shinto,
but a beautiful combination of
both.
Gardens play an important part
all through Japanese architecture.
They contain almost no grass, but
many rocks and sand arranged
into patterns. 4
Some of the most interesting
pictures at the exhibit arey of the
gardens.
The Japanese loved trees, and
would lovingly pluck out the dead
needles of a pine tree one by one.
They also liked to collect in-
teresting stones for thei' gardens
while on a hike, or just perhaps
contemplate them and be at peace
with nature.
The exhibit ends with the ef-
forts to blend modern architecture
with the traditional Japanese.
This presents a great problem,
for wooden construction materials
and mobility of walls are inherent
in the old style. Modern buildings
require cement and immobility.
The two are not yet ready to
adapt to each other, but progress
has been made.
One thing that is lacking in the
exhibit is color.
If you have ever seen the beau-
tiful greens, golds, and jades in
Japanese architecture, you will
miss them here. But the exhibit
is worthwhile and complete, and
gives the casual visitor an insight,
not only into elementary archi-
tecture, but history, religion, and
the Japanese people.

Thednumber of fellowships
awarded by the newly-formed
Woodrow Wilson National Fellow-
ship Foundation will be expanded
from 300 to 1,000 for each aca-
demic year, Prof. Richard C. Boys,
of the English department, an-
nouniced here today'.
The foundation was incorpor-
ated under Michigan laws on July
8 at the first meeting of its board
of directors, following a grant
of $241/2 million from Ford Foun-
dation.
Superseding the National Wood-
row Wilson Fellowship program
(originated at Princeton Univer-
sity in 1945), the foundation is
dedicated to helping superior stu-
dents enter the teaching profes-
sion.
Prof. Boys, the foundation's
national director, indicated its
offices will remain temporarily in
Ann Arbor, where they have "been
for the past year.
He reported that five fellowships
from the new foundation's funds
have been granted to University
students for graduate work this
fall, and that 12 students from
other institutions will study here
under the program.
Candidates for fellowships are
nominated by local faculties and
then interviewed by a regional
committee made up from diverse
fields.
