Japanese Tea Ceremony Set
Japanese Tea Ceremony Set
The Japanese tea ceremony, or chanoyu, is a traditional ritual centered around the preparation and serving of matcha (powdered green tea). Its history, cultural significance, required accessories, and philosophical underpinnings reflect Japan's rich heritage. It originated from Chinese tea traditions introduced to Japan by Zen monks during the Kamakura period. Refined by figures like Sen no Rikyū in the Muromachi period, it emphasizes mindfulness and simplicity.
The ceremony fosters connection between host and guests, reflecting core values of harmony, respect, and tranquility. Each element serves to cultivate appreciation for nature and the present moment, making it a profound social and spiritual practice that continues to resonate in Japanese culture today.
