When I went to Japan with the school, one of my hotel rooms had a tea ceremony table in it. It was definitely unusual to find in a room. Nice little video, and perfect for T. Stay dry. And I hope you don't get any severe weather.
ReplyDeleteWe got tornado warning and spent 15 min. in the basement. No harm done to my area
DeleteWow, rules and patience needed! Not really for me ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day. I had yogi-tea today.
It is a lot to take in
DeleteI'd never survive in Japan!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you
DeleteI was once invited to a japanese tea ceremony, and it was very interesting, but not really my cup of tea - there was no coffee! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThere should be a coffee ceremony
DeleteThis ritual has such a long history! And I love the way it connects to other Japanese arts. At least for very wealthy practitioners, the tea houses were often stand-alone buildings in beautiful gardens, and the guests acquired the right frame of mind by walking through the gardens before entering the quiet and perfect space for the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteBy coincidence, the tea ceremony is also my subject this Monday.

Thanks for adding additional facts to my post
DeleteWow. That was so interesting and steeped in tradition. We need more things like that in our lives. Thanks for the share, CJ. Happy T-day and hugz
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful
DeleteWe used to do more formal teas but have pretty much stopped that. And we never tried to do a Japanese tea ceremony, though it'd be fun :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Japanese tea ceremony
DeleteThank you for sharing this video about Japanese T ceremony. Tea is part of Japanese culture. That's a great way to enjoy tea.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
I like the peek into the art
DeleteI would love to do a tea ceremony if we ever visit Japan!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
I thought it sounded like something you would do with your kids.
DeleteI thought tea drinking in the states required a lot of accouterments, but the Matcha tea ceremony seems to require even more. Not just tools and equipment, but patience and dedication. Thanks for sharing this with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ, And thank you again for the gifts, especially that rocking horse!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was making the envelope book for you, I knew the rocking horse charm would be perfect
DeleteWhen I was in Japan our hosts took us to a tea ceremony. It was so elegant and beautiful. This is a lovely video. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been especially beautiful in person
DeleteSo interesting. Happy T Day.
ReplyDelete😊
DeleteEverything so precise!
ReplyDeleteI once had an Japanese exchange teacher working with me. She made tea for every class. Too bad I can't drink tea! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
Precise, but all the movements so graceful and beautiful
