Description

We attended a Japanese tea ceremony, called chado or sado (‘the way of tea’) in Kyoto. It is a highly ritualized and choreographed process rooted in Zen philosophy. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart. It is said that it takes at least a decade to master the art of the tea ceremony. The tea ceremony we attended was performed by a maiko, a geisha in training. All her movements were slow, deliberate, and graceful. Seen here is the kama, the iron or copper vessel used for heating the water. The hishaku is the long bamboo ladle used to transfer the hot water from the kama to the bowl where it is mixed with the powdered green tea called macha.
