茶の湯 Japanese Tea Ceremony

This is a basic tutorial on how to perform the simplest type of Japanese Tea Ceremony, bon temae. I studied tea ceremony or "cha no yu" for one year in Osaka, so I am no expert or authority on the subject. Obviously, I made this video in my living room and I'm sure I've made mistakes in this demonstration. I just thought a general "how to" for Japanese Tea Ceremony would be useful for English speakers. If you have any questions, leave me a comment. Enjoy!

I know that Japanese ceremonies are influenced by Zen Buddhism

Would a Zen tea ceremony be preformed the same?
