"守破離 (Shu-ha-ri)" refers to the relationship between master and disciple in the arts, such as calligraphy, tea ceremony, and budo, and describes the process of training in these arts.
It is the basis of the creative process that has developed and evolved the culture of the arts in Japan, and represents the process in three stages: shu (守) "protect", "obey", ha (破) "detach", "digress" and ri (離) "leave", "separate".

On the Meaning of "守破離 (Shu-ha-ri)" The phrase "守破離 (Shu-ha-ri)" is said to be taken from "Rikyu-doka," a collection of lessons by Sen no Rikyu who is a famous tea master.
He wrote, "You may observe(守 shu) manners and then break(破 ha) them or leave(離 ri) them provided that you are still based upon the principles."

The first step in training is to thoroughly "follow" the form taught by the master.
Those who have followed the master's teachings and acquired the form through training and discipline will be able to "break" the existing form by comparing themselves with the master's form, as well as the forms of others, and by searching for and trying out the form that seems better suited to them.

The individual who has trained and practiced, who is familiar with and grounded in both the forms of their master and the form he/she has discovered for themselves, has a better understanding of themselves and their techniques, and is thus able to break free of the leaving forms.
It is important to remember that even if one breaks away from the teachings, one must not lose sight of the underlying spirit and that seeking individuality and originality without having mastered the basic form is what is called "formlessness".
無着成恭 (Muchaku Seikyo), an educator and Zen Buddhist priest said, "If a person with a form breaks the form, this is 'kata-yaburi,(unconventional)' and if a person without a form breaks the form, he is "kata-nashi" (formlessness).
