日本の茶道

The Japanese tea ceremony does not conscientiously follow the tea ceremony, but further includes various philosophies of "harmony, respect, purity, and solitude," concern for serenity, courtesy, and Japanese philosophy of life.

The tea ceremony originated in China and was introduced to Japan early on as a Zen Buddhist tea ceremony. However, the exhibition of Japan's cultural independence is now complete, and a ceremony will be held to celebrate the completion of the self-made cloak.
The First Tea CeremonyIn the 13th century, Japanese Zen monks began learning how to drink tea. Although the tea ceremony incorporated Zen Buddhist teachings, the main purpose of the tea ceremony was to bring tea to a pure state of mind.
16th century: Sen no Rikyu is considered the founder of the tea ceremony, and his tea ceremony philosophy of "harmony, respect, and purity and solitude" became the core idea of the Chengdu tea ceremony.

Today, the tea ceremony is practiced as a hobby, and there are places where even tourists can experience it. Various groups throughout Japan hold authentic tea ceremonies in traditional gardens, culture centers, and hotels. Kyoto and Uji are among the best places to enjoy Japanese tea culture.
