Chabana

[4] Chabana, however, refers specifically to the flower display in the room or space for chadō,[5] and though it fundamentally is a form of ikebana, it comprises a genre unto its own.

Sen no Rikyū is considered the most influential person in the development of wabi-cha, and is also credited as the originator of the accompanying nageire mode of flower arrangement, which is characterized by freedom and spontaneity in expressing the natural beauty of the material.

"[7] In the history of ikebana, the nageire style was added to the more stylized rikka arrangement around the end of the 1600s, as influenced by chabana.

The main thematic element would be the kakemono, usually a hanging scroll featuring a Zen phrase or similar words written in brush and ink.

Usually, the chabana will share the tokonoma space with the kakemono, but depending on the circumstances the kakemono might be up in the tokonoma when the guests first enter the room, and the chabana displayed later, at the main portion of the gathering following the intermission when the guests go out once.
