 The history of "chabana" follows hand-in-hand with the history of "chadō", and within that historical milieu, "chabana" emerged in tandem with the rise of "wabi-cha" around the Momoyama period.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.Among the statements attributed to him, the first one in the set of seven known as "Rikyū's Seven Precepts" ("Rikyū shichisoku") concerns "chabana".
