In tea ceremony, participants normally sit in the seiza posture (kneeling with the tops of the feet flat on the floor and sitting on the soles). But there is a variety of tea ceremony in which one sits on a chair while drinking the tea. This is called the ryūrei style. Traditionally, in Japan, people didn't use chairs. They sat on the floor to eat meals. In contrast, people in the West sit on chairs at a table to eat meals. Ryūrei was created as a way of making tea ceremony more accessible to the West. The ryūrei style retains the fundamental aspects of the older tea ceremony styles and is beautifully consistent in the way it uses the same framework and procedures.
