          * It's a good principle for tea: It means //being not too obvious//. So don't just depict a flower directly, but rather lean towards the abstract so that the 御銘 can then complete the image in the mind of the beholder.          * It's a good principle for tea: It means //being not too obvious//.

 +<WRAP info>**My principles**
 +   - Start with the absolute vanilla flavour
 +   - Before starting, research and note recipes, ideally from reference books
 +   - Before actually starting, write down recipe and steps on paper
 +   - Keep all variables fixed and always do the recipes twice (with one variable different)
 +   - While working, clean as you go. If you put down something and what you're doing can wait a bit, clean.
 +   - Don't nibble. Taste often, but if things need to be thrown away, throw them away. If you behave like a trash bin, you'll look like one, and it's going to do wonders for your 正座.
