How the 400 Years of Japanese Tea Ceremony History Developed

I’m sorry to have kept you waiting! I have had hundreds of requests for a video about tea ceremonies, and I’m happy to announce that I'm going to finally start making them.

Some say that tea ceremony is at the heart of Japanese culture, with the teachings of hospitality, respect, and Zen philosophies.

As a student training tea ceremony in Kyoto,I can definitely say that this is true. 
Everytime I take lessons from my master, I am always surprised by how deep the culture is.

So today, I will summarize the 400 years of Japanese tea ceremony into just 5 points.

By watching this video, you will be able to deepen your understanding of tea ceremony culture, and enjoy the tea ceremony related videos I will be making in the future. At the end of the video, I will also talk about how it is practiced and trained today.
