- Introduction -
The tea ceremony originated in Zen temples, and the essence of 'Zen' can be realized through the ceremony, including concepts such as: simplicity, transience, inner peace, enjoying the present moment, freedom from desire, non-judgment, harmony with nature, selflessness, and connection with the universe. In the midst of a busy life, take a moment to enjoy inner peace through the tea ceremony. 'Ichigo Ichie' is a Japanese idiom originating from the tea ceremony, meaning that every encounter is unique and cannot be repeated. It is a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, so both host and guest should treat each other with sincerity and cherish the present moment.
