Japanese tea master Sen Rikyu was expecting guests the next day. When it began to snow that afternoon, he placed round cushions on the stepping stones leading to the tea house.
The next morning when the snow stopped, he carefully removed the cushions from the stepping stones, leaving a clear walkway through the snow to the tea house.
This gesture was simple, practical, thoughful, and elegant.
And very charming.
