Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony

This show was a very special honor. I was invited to a traditional tea ceremony performed for me so that I could share it with you.

The Tea Sensei Mrs. Ishiguri will demonstrate the preparation for the ceremony as well as perform the tea ceremony.

My friend Makiko-san and her friend Yumi -san will help translate the goings on so we have a good understanding of this very old tradition.

You will along with me will learn how this tradition started many years ago for men only as a way to socialize with friends. In more recent times the tea ceremony is enjoyed by both men and women as a traditional way to spend time together with friends and family.

We hope you enjoy this traditional ceremony.

Let me know your thoughts. Sign the new guest book.

Enjoy!

  • Lovely video - You should know that this is from the Omotosenke school. The other tea school that is well known in Japan is the Urasenke school.

  • Thank you so much for your nice words. Are you in Japan at one of the tea schools?

    Are you a teacher, student or parent?

  • @BruceG99 I was visiting Japan in February and made this video with my friends. Thank you for you comments and nice words. I am happy you like this video.

  • What does the guy say at the end? - "Thanks showing the show" - That showns nothimg but the level of such so called intercultural communication. And: what a BGM! Should I laugh or should I cry?! Ridiculous nonsense!

  • I am a student in the Urasenke school. I live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul. I have studied in Kyoto twice at the Urasenke Headquarters but my teacher is in Minneapolis. Our group is informally called Yukimaki. Thank you again posting this lovely video.

  • My mistake. The spelling is Omotesenke.
