The Japanese tea ceremony emerged out of the chaos of medieval Japan's civil wars as a way of focusing the mind in a tranquil setting. The simple act of pouring tea for guests was transformed into Sado, the way of tea. This encompasses a philosophy of conduct, aesthetics, calm and contentment with simplicity in life. The Japanese Tea Ceremony offers readers a chance to experience this simple form of relaxation which enhances self-awareness and social relationships and gives us an opportunity to escape into the graceful traditions of Japanese culture. This deluxe gift box includes a full-color photographic hardcover book providing an interesting account of the early history of tea in Asian society and the origins of the codified tea practice in medieval Japan. It investigates the modern role of the tea ceremony and the surrounding philosophy that has so greatly influenced Japan's social customs and artistic traditions. Then, a step-by-step guide takes you through the ritual of the ceremony itself. Both the full four-hour ceremony and the short one-hour version are explained in easy-to-follow detail. To complete your initiation, this lovely reusable box also contains a beautiful porcelain tea bowl, a straw whisk, and a packet of powdered green matcha tea.
