Chanoyu 茶の湯 - Green Tea ceremony

[jamesmcashan1]

thank you for explaining that ceremonies are mostly for people who do not work. while millions of others strain in agony, suffer and die in the cold, wet, and heat, owning nothing, the "Monkey Kings" gave priveleges and houses to their freinds and social concubines. the peace and sanitation is good for everyone, and more protection is deserved for those who keep the peace and who do real work. - james mcashan for the US Senate

elegant or not, it takes 3 minutes to drink a cup of tea. a bit of exaggeration for something so simple. nice to watch, none the less, except the chanting is somewhat stressful, not so much relaxing. bothered me a bit in the background it did.

Her elegant movement? I don't think she moves well. A little bit rough, me and below two japanese people believe.

Thanks for uploading them, it's very useful clips for begginers who want to know the process (like me!), however, you should have not attached any music. Because people who know nothing about tea ceremony can misunderstand that there is music in the ceremony. Nonetheress, as you know, there is no music.

音楽は茶道で流さないことと彼女に落ち着きがないことはとりあえ­ず書いてみました。

[treesun2006]

このBGMは必要ないのでは？

UPするなら、見てる人に誤解のないように正しく伝統を伝えるよ­うに努めるべきだと思います。

茶道では音楽など流しません。

[intense0007]

普通茶道では、音楽など絶対に流さない。

日本の本物伝統文化として正しく伝えるべき・・・

少なくとも私はそうしている。

お点前も雑で落ち着きがない・・・

お点前では心が一番出やすい物。

what is with arab music????

What a shame..

for such a beautiful video.

[LaurelleStars]

@dithbmine1 Its not arab, its jap and its nice.

[lukkha1]

@dithbmine1 i beg your pardon? what do you mean by what a shame. even though it would be arabic music what would be wrong with it ? you are not even to recognize a japanese buddhit sutra chanted from the call to th prayer of a minaret, you show how uncultured you are yet you dare criticizing. did you even know that arabic music is concidered by expert as one of the most accomplished form of music at the same level as beethoven rakmninov or vivaldi/ camille saint sean one of th best calssical

[lukkha1]

@dithbmine1 one of the best classical composer got inspired by music from egypt. and ravel's bolero is directly influenced by the maures's(arabic) culture and influence in spain. the ancient greeks and the romans where fascinated by music from the middle east and it was played in the palace of alexander the great and jules ceasar. before that aristotes and platon mentionned how enchanting the melodies from egypt were. and yet you come here and say what a shame

[lukkha1]

@dithbmine1 i am not from the middle east i am not arabic my mother is japanese my father from iceland. and i can tell you that the only shame is your attitude and your ridiculous comment. and let me tell you one thing. the four principles of the tea ceremoy are peace respect harmony and serenity, maybe you want to follow those principles not only regarding my japanese culture but regarding the world. dont mistake a band of stupid terrorists and a whole culture. which have more profitably

[lukkha1]

@dithbmine1 influenced the world than the modern western or even asian culture. i cant believe some stupid racist and xenophobiac people end up on a video about the tea ceremony. you should be ashamed. and by the way this sutra is called the sutra of compassion from the amida buddha, no wonder you didnt understand it. you obviously have no compassion. you are at the opposite of the tea ceremony. maybe it is time to wake up and start learning and stop just watching. tea is like life,

[lukkha1]

@dithbmine1 tea is like life without meanning it is useless.

The hishaku (ladle) is only rested right side up during furo season. This is during ro season (Nov through April) where the kama (iron kettle) is much lower. This is Omotosenke School.

[demoman87]
