Wonderful! This reminds me in what Siri Aurobind said about Yoga, all daily life is yoga, if we all live in that way, in our meditative mind there shall not be war in this world, of course we are conditioned by the sick part of society who wants only power for themselves, and we eat it! we runn into modern slavery and stop being citizens of the world, but slaves of modern life and are persecuted to pay everything in order to live a decent life! my great grandpas were more free living!
@The2123 Peace is indeed the objective of the ceremony, even more than a good bowl of tea. It's purpose is to calm the mind and make us aware of every little nuance.
sound of water bowl, no idiot TV set, i have soup instead (American Haiku). this tea ceremony video is better than most. Asian science of security, sanitary life support. the simple house costs little to make. solid rolled floor mats, not fabric. no furniture, trash, or decorations wasting the space. a "back pack" protects the spine, with fine warm silk clothes (polyamide), food, a blanket. food is prepared with boiled water and clean tools. - james mcashan for the US Senate
I always thought the ceremony was restricted to just men. Nice to see this isn't the case here. Shame we didn't see the lady drinking the tea. Is there a spiritual and/or meditative thing going on here?
i got "goosebumps" on my scalp. it came in waves, and it kinda felt like my hairs were standing on end, but it felt really good. idk if nyone else gets this feeling
Yes! I do, and when I first watched this video I got those too... it's kinda relaxing,isn't it :) It's called ASMR or a tingly feeling, and there is actually a small internet community devoted to it.
To the video uploader, the ceremony conductor and the people who filmed it: thank you! I find this highly soothing.
Something so trivial as pouring hot water over green tea leafs had become the highest act of art.Through the ceremony and tea pottery like Raku and Hagi it beautifully echoes the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of imperfect,impermanent and incomplete nature of our lives.lt teaches and reminds me to see the value and importance in things that would have otherwise passed by me unnoticed and taken for granted.
A long process of making a cuppa. Usually takes me about 1-2 minutes after the kettle has boiled =p Joke. Since starting karate I have become interested in Japanese culture.
Of all the videos I have seen on Tea Ceremony, this one is the only one I would watch again and again. She is so graceful, the way her hands dance could break even the hottest temper. Thank you for the upload, this has greatly pleased and relaxed me.
I wonder if the reason behind the elaborate ceremony was to demonstrate cleanliness back in the days of ancient Japan. If you watch the ceremony there are 3 parts: Cleaning the bowl and utensils before use, making the tea/drinking the tea, cleaning the bowl and utensils after use. It begins to make sense that there was a lot of form added to the function.
a person is thirsty in the dessert and ask a cup of tea, the lady takes 10 mins to prepare the cup of tea and ready to serve. that person is already dead XD
@thejanaxax Also look at Present! Tea Ceremony: Urasenke Style (I can't put the link in here) by KMVT. It's long, but it also has an explanation afterwords. Might help.
"It's a form of zen and meditiation. Practising something till you can come close to perfection focuses the mind and soul. Making tea isn't really the goal."
@ChaosDynamics It's about tradition and ceremony. We all have different values. They feel that drinking tea is an important event and should be honored with a ceremony. When my son graduated from school there was a commencement assembly, a dinner and a dance. He could have had his diploma mailed and eaten a bowl of cereal at home. It would have been cheaper, and easier but it wouldn't be the same thing. Ceremony helps us note important things in life, like drinking a good cup of tea.
This video is a perfect example of why you should never use the microphone on the camera when the video's sound is so important. All the shuffling, popping and friction noises are so distracting, and could have been easily avoided. Shame.
I know this is about precision and making all moves perfect but for example at 1:02 her fingers touch that small spoonlike thing when she puts the pot of tea down...is that directly done or she just did not position the spoon well? Is this allowed? Not trying to be mean, I just heard that you have to make everything so precise....Btw I come and watch this video a lot because it is so relaxing.
@xxxAngelikaxxx I think it was one little tiny mistake. Perfection is what we strive to archive, but the journey is how you get there. It's ok. Nothing is perfect. :) I too find this so relaxing. I hope that made some kind of sense.
Precise, graceful, poised, orderly and full of Jinzen Jimbi. Not perfect, of course, but close. To claim perfection would end the quest, as I am sure Joy would agree.
In thread, the control of body by mind is an art and skill. It is a centerpiece of practice.
I think she placed the tea where a guest, if one had been there, would have picked it up. Then in the new scene she cleans the now-empty tea bowl and puts everything away.
What happened at 5:18? Looks like she went into meditation then the scene faded and came back to a different scene. I'm assuming it had something to do with letting the pre-made tea set or something?
Can anyone tell me what sound is appropriate to make when drinking tea at this kind of ceremony? I can't find a video of anyone actually drinking the tea, and I would like to know what kind of sound is polite to show I am enjoying the tea. Is it more of a gulp or a slurp? I mean should the sound be pulling air across the tea, or more a sound from my throat? If anyone has any insight on this, please tell me!
@carlodelysid All the background noises, the wind, the gentle hum are wonderful little additives that give this video character! I crank up my volume just so I can hear the wind!

How is this any different from watching an overweight white van driver in his late 40s making tea with full fat milk and an electric kettle in a portacabin?
Although I view this tea ceremony at least once every evening and admire and respect it very much, I would prefer that she not snap the orange scarf. No doubt this is a feature of her particular school of tea, but I prefer the quiet, subtle sounds of the various parts of the ceremony.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The bamboo wisk-thing is a glaring weakspot here.
She uses it to mix the tea, then places up on the ground while it is still wet from the tea. THUS, TEA IS CURRENTLY RUNNING DOWN THE WISK AND POSSIBLY ONTO THE FLOOR.
I learnt that 4 principle of tea ceremony is..." harmony" "respect" "purity" and "tranquility". In Urasenke style, 15th Grand tea master says " world peace from a bowl of tea"...I think it means by learning those principles in everyday life, we can create peaceful world. You can learn tea ceremony outside Japan.
@fip25robots?each gesture is charged with the highest respect,consideration and worship for the healing power of the tea.the patience prepares every cell of the body to absorb the max benefit of that cup of tea.it is amazing...

@Jammsbro1 how do you know when you've reached perfection? And why in making tea? Why can't it be something a little more practical like a dance or building a house?
@subtleserveyor Tea has medicinal properties. It is not merely a drink. A tea ceremony is more than the act of making a drink. It makes us pause and notice minor details in life. It shows respect between friends, family, social circles. How often do you show respect to others in your daily life? Do you have a strong family or a strong community? Variety is the spice of life. Sometimes it is of great benefit to step outside of your comfort zone and learn about others around you.
@subtleserveyor It shows the dedication and self discipline that is very intensly focused on in japanese tradition. The position she is sitting in is very formal but honestly is very uncomfortable, and to be able to professionally show such grace and delicacy in one's actions in their culture is very important and could go a very long way in one's future as well. It could help a woman get a better husband and stuff.
I had been looking for a really good Japanese tea ceremony video for a long time before this one appeared. As far as I can see, there are no others in which the ceremony is so beautifully and fully performed, in appropriate surroundings and IN QUIET, so that one can hear the subtle sounds she makes. Every viewing is good for the spirit.
@NKA23 Had to look him up, which helps me understand where you were coming from - but I still stand by my point, which I think you can understand also. All is well, let us move on.
In the novel "American Psycho" at one point Patrick Bateman is in a jewish restaurant and orders a cheseburger and a milk shake, the waiter tells him, that he can´t serve him that, because it wasn´t kosher...then Patrick orders a steak and a milk shake, which is not kosher either, so he orders a roast beef sandwich and a milk shake, which isn´t kosher either...he just doesn´t care about the rules of this restaurant, because he is a psychopathic douche bag.
@Battleground1001 I do not do Omotesenke style ( I think this video is), but with cradle, only after pouring hot water on green tea power in the bowl, you do Kiri-Bishaku (cut-cradle). Other times called Tome-Bishaku(stop-cradle) with my old memory, my teacher told me this is because of respect to the tea powder. I was told to put the hand up just like Samurai's determination.
Wow, this is really relazing, makes me want to go and learn! And to think, some of these lasts for four hours! But I have a question, how long did it take for Sato-san to learn?
@AriochStarr I get that sensation when I'm learning/watching something interesting. You're actually the first person I've known that has had the same thing.
@ dorotanvotova - I don't think she is drawing anything. She is just "smoothing out" the macha to make it easier to mix with the water. Please, anyone, correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks for asking Joy, I really appreciate it. If I ever get down your way (I live in Loveland) I would love to attend one of her tea ceremonies. I noted her website and will check it out.
there is one without sound (as it was originally intended).

Sorry, I was just making a joke about Patrick Bateman...don´t you know Patrick Bateman?
(Well, you can´t understand the joke, if you don´t...)

@NKA23 Had to look him up, which helps me understand where you were coming from - but I still stand by my point, which I think you can understand also. All is well, let us move on.

Yeah, just this last thing.
In the novel "American Psycho" at one point Patrick Bateman is in a jewish restaurant and orders a cheseburger and a milk shake, the waiter tells him, that he can´t serve him that, because it wasn´t kosher...then Patrick orders a steak and a milk shake, which is not kosher either, so he orders a roast beef sandwich and a milk shake, which isn´t kosher either...he just doesn´t care about the rules of this restaurant, because he is a psychopathic douche bag.

Why do you snap twice? My teacher tells me I can only snap once because I'm not a man.

Why are there 2 ways of putting the large wooden spoon on top of the hot water?

@Battleground1001 I do not do Omotesenke style ( I think this video is), but with cradle, only after pouring hot water on green tea power in the bowl, you do Kiri-Bishaku (cut-cradle). Other times called Tome-Bishaku(stop-cradle) with my old memory, my teacher told me this is because of respect to the tea powder. I was told to put the hand up just like Samurai's determination.

Wow, this is really relazing, makes me want to go and learn! And to think, some of these lasts for four hours! But I have a question, how long did it take for Sato-san to learn?

I agree with AlejandroMochizuki. When the lady snaps the cloth, it wakes me up from my trance.

I've got a tingling sensation just below the back of my neck
I can't believe I've seen an actual Japanese Tea Ceremony . . . WITH SOUND!
It was really lovely

@AriochStarr I get that sensation when I'm learning/watching something interesting. You're actually the first person I've known that has had the same thing.

@AriochStarr Actually, considering the fact that I am nearly a decade your senior, it would be t'other way 'round.
But the fact that you used an umlaut in doppelgänger, as I do, is eerie and also contributes to this...

@ dorotanvotova - I don't think she is drawing anything. She is just "smoothing out" the macha to make it easier to mix with the water. Please, anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

what did shw draw in the tea powder in the cup, before pouring water? secret symbol? what was it?
dorotanvotova 1 year ago
it looks like korean and chinese tea culture combined.

@Hanul91 The ceremony traveled, generally speaking, from China, through Korea, to Japan, becoming more influenced by Zen as it went.

Thanks for asking Joy, I really appreciate it. If I ever get down your way (I live in Loveland) I would love to attend one of her tea ceremonies. I noted her website and will check it out.
