What is the Goal & Purpose of Japanese Tea Ceremony?

- You might have heard that tea ceremonies are a way to train mentally, and learn manners and respect. But many people including the Japanese think that tea ceremonies are about drinking tea. How can you possibly train someone’s mind by drinking a cup of matcha?
To be honest, the heart of tea ceremony can not be easily explained. Even the tea masters who have trained for decades and have dedicated their lives to it, will answer that they don't completely understand it, and they never will.
However, there are some sayings left by tea legend 千利休 Sen no Rikyu, who completed the form of tea ceremony as we know of now.
So today, as a tea ceremony trainee in Kyoto, I will explain the 4 philosophies & 7 rules of the tea ceremony that Sen no Rikyu has left behind.
Anyone who has thought “Who the heck is Sen no Rikyu?” You can take a look at my video about the history of the tea ceremony in advance! • How the 400 Years of J...
All the teachings I will introduce today are quite abstract, so I would like to share some of my own experiences and opinions that I have learned from my tea master, who has been training for more than 50 years. The most important lesson will be shared at the end of the whole story, so I hope you can enjoy it till the end!

After drinking tea at a tea ceremony, the caffeine was so strong I felt enlightened. (of course, I couldn't sleep for the next 36 hours)
I usually drink a double koicha before zazen....it really helps..
I drank 2 cups of milk tea so that i could be energized and awake while doing my final architectural plate back in 1st year. I struggled with my hands instead and barely passed on time
I really love this philosophy of appreciating nature as it is, rather than trying to dominate and adapt nature to human ideals.
Highly recommend the manga "Hyouge mono" about tea ceremony history. Sen no Rikyu plays an important role.
literally my favorite manga
This manga is the reason I got here. It's amazing
Having the 7 rules, is a good thing, as they are key in preparation. If someone has a problem with the word "rules", then most likely, they are the guests.
The 7 rules, I think, are like a checklist, without such things, you would have chaos.
the most obvious are the most easiest forgotten on daily basis, due to stress, distraction, and selfish reason. since that allready been back then an issue. its no wonder those still apply properly today. and this can be a good lesson for anyone and help relax the mind.
The story of Sen no Rikyu also gave me goosebumps. The deepest wisdom seems so simple from the outside. But understanding it....that takes a lifetime.
All I understand is that I only truly understand very few things, if any.
zen in a nut shell: K.I.S.S.
keep it stupidly simple
The theory of Occam's razor is a side effect of the ceremony... He felt simplicity will always be than complexity...
The fact that you have truly understand how little you know you're ahead of the curve...
As a non-japanese who has been stuyding urasenke style tea ceremony for several years, I always find it hard to explain why I dedicate so much time and energy to the study of tea every week when non-tea people ask. Thank you for the beautiful and concise summary of some of the things we feel during our study.
As some one with a lot of social anxiety some of these mindfulness and appreciation of nature and anxiety speaks to me quiet strongly. Minus the talking part these sounds absolutely delightful!
I sometimes listen to your videos while I am doing my homeworks and this makes me feel more comfortable while I am doing it.
Absolutely charming. Thank you 🙏🏻
It gives you +10 diplomatic relations
I love this. I just acquired a Japanese tea set from my grandfather who recently passed. And this has helped me understand the history and meaning so much! Thank you for this!
Well I defiantly learned a heck of a lot of things about the tea ceremony that I'd never really would of thought would go into it in the first place. Cool!
Thank for the teachings you share and help to enlighten those of us that have enormous respect.
I'd love to experience this someday. It seems very much a ceremony about being "in the moment" - all rank and cares are put aside to discuss what is happening in the here and now, from the flowers to the tea to the surroundings. What a refreshing concept!
Thank again for sharing the 4 philosophies and the rules of the ceremony.
this is quite impressive!
I had my first tea ceremony class this morning.
Thank you for helping me.
I was going to ask about the 'Tea Ceremony' and here it is. Thank you. It makes sense.
It would be really cool if you could dedicate a video to Chawans. There are many kinds and styles of chawans and yet they all seem somewhat similar and at the same time as you mentioned the prices can be astronomical.
Thank you for two very informative videos about the tea ceremony. The bit at the end about why the seven rules are so important really helped to define the purpose of the ceremony in general for me.
This video was very moving and meaningful. Thank you!
Fascinating!!!
You already have 121k subs, not even 50% through this year. Keep up the great work. Another great video, thanks for making it!
I've always been interested in the tea ceremony. Thank you for explaining it in such a simple and straightforward manner. Hope your goal is achieved soon.
My appreciation of Japanese poise, elegance &, etiquette only ever grows.....
Your cultivation of wa is a sunrise. Thank you.
Great explanation, amazing video! Thank you a lot Shogo!
Thanks for this great video! I just ordered an antique tetsubin to begin learning how to do tea ceremonies at home for my family and friends so we can learn to slow down and be less hurried in life. Looking forward to trying it out!
Just wow!! Sounds intriguing indeed..
This video was way more thought-provoking that I thought it could be. Thank you so much for making it, Mr. Shogo! 🤗
Beautifully explained. Thank you kindly from Michigan.
As always, very informative. I’m learning so much about Japanese culture.
Thank you for a very well explained and informative video to explain the importance of the balance the tea ceremony brings in life.
All of a sudden the fact that I have taken Japanese Art History becomes useful. I actually DO know who Sen no Rikyu is!
Thank you so much
I felt at peace just hearing about the Tea Ceremony.
Thanks for sharing, gracias por compartir y explicar :)
Love this.
It came out! Yay. Now I get to indulge. 😁
Great video!
Many people drink tea yet few understand it, sen no rikyu
Beautiful video my friend, 🙏
Hi Shogu, thanks for one more informative video, i have just recently discovered your channel and became an avid viewer. When you mentioned leaving the katana outside, that would also include the wakizashi the the Samurai always kept with him even in indoor places where he would leave the long sword at the door?
Great video, Shogo!
Domo arigato, Sensei Shogo...
Love your channel, Shogo-san. Perhaps you should put together some sort of guide-book with all your knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture, not atleast regarding Kyoto !? I've been in Japan 2018, (during Sakura) and I can't wait to come back in fall-season. Ofcourse I spent time in Kyoto (two weeks), but after watching quite a few of your videos, I understand that I missed out a lot, not atleast because of language-barrier. I truly wish that I could make friends with some japanese person in order to get a better understanding of the japanese culture, but it is proven (to me) during my three months long stay in Japan, it's quite hard. This is really the only thing that i felt as a loss while beeing in Japan; The lack of interaction with the locals, othervise I really loved Japan and I'm planning to go back, as mentioned.
Thank you once more for your time and effort, Shogo-san, it.s very much appeciated.
Sincearly;
Mr. T
Hyougemono is a must read if you want to get more into this topic and aesthetics
Not just about the tea but the why it has to be preserved
What a fascinating mentality.
Very interesting video. I think that due to these rules, tea ceremony, unfortunately, is not for me.
I TOTALLY get this and everything around it, it makes complete sense to me and I find the concept extremely appealing. One question if I may, please ☺ and I'm not trying to be funny, I really mean it.
Not everyone, especially older people will not always be able to hold his bathroom urge for four hours or whatever time the ceremony takes. Will a quick trip to the bathroom adversely affect the peace and harmony of the ceremony for the other guests and the host because it interrupts the procedure and they have to wait for the ceremony to coninue? Or is that acceptable? Thank you kindly in advance ☺
This is deep.
Thank you for this wonderful insight into the philosophy of the japanese tea ceremony.
Would it be okay if I use this video as a source for my final project at school (I'm gonna write about tea in general and obviously tea culture around the world is gonna be a huge part.)
Is it disrespectful to cough during tra ceremony? I have acid reflux. Sometimes i have to cough to clear my throat. Thanks.
I’m in love with chado too ♥️
I always thought with the ceremony that it was the journey of the tea to experience not just drinking the tea 🍵
Japanese tea ceremony: Tranquility
Chaiwalla uncle: Embrace the chaos.
Thank you for this video I somehow believed that tea ceremonies were something done by geisha women until I saw your video on geisha
@@BossGokaiGreen greetings friend 🇺🇸
woderfull video as always . Very informative. But i have a quiestion: do guests nees some kind of training too before be a part of this ritual? I'm asking from possible tourist perspective
You can be invited as a guest to enjoy a tea ceremony at different levels. If you are already knowledgeable about tea ceremony due to your trainings, you will or might seat as the main guest called the Shokaku, there you will lead the other guests as Shogo explained in the video and will make sure that everyone is doing alright. You can also be invited as a guest for the first time and there no training is needed, either the other guests will help you and show you what to do or the host will take care to make you at ease and show you what to do, very simple things such as how to hold a tea cup first and teaching more rules only if you look like you are interested to learn more. We all learn something new during a tea ceremony even for the more experienced members. So if you visit as a tourist or enthusiast, just feel relax and enjoy the present moment.
@@teaceremonyintokyo Thank you for the answer, it explained my concerns
Excellent question excellent answer
@@redmagic7870 thanks
🙇🏻♂️
Thank you for the video, although how do you just throw flowers together and what types of flowers are used?
Thank you very much for the explenation! But what do you do if you can't drink the Sake because you can't drink alcohol?
Arigato gozaimasu Shogo 🙏🌺 Totemo utsukushī 🙏🌿🌸
What tea do you drink Shogo?
now that's editing
both his new tea videos are 16:55
So that why samurai jack was bowing to the tea kettle when he met budda
This would be an interesting experience. How often are you doing this ceremony, like once a week, month, year?
👍
💗💗💖💖
💓🌻💓
The only reason I knew 'wa' meant harmony is because of Heiwajima Shizuo's (DuRaRaRa) name which means peaceful island. xD
But all in all, I really love watching your videos. It's such a fun learning experience.
Having grown up with karate kid movies I thought this was a form of courtship ritual or starting a romance.
Kind of surprise you haven't made a video on ghost of tsushima
Putting apart matcha and ceremony, the pure awareness is important here which is out of explanation.
What is done with awareness is ceremony. Isn't it?😅
What dose it mean when a person taps the table and spills out the tea?
* sees title of video * I don't know. Why do people do civil war reenactments? .... Because it's fun and traditional and there's a lot of effort put into it 🙂
🐘🍊🌻🍀🙏
Left out「一期一会」"Ichi go ichi ei".
Greetings, it could be an entire video on its own. pax, PL
I love how the five things you aren’t supposed to talk about… are applied to the workplace in America, as well.
Focus on what’s right in front of you. :)
The dislikers :/

Bow to Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch for they are made of Japan too.
3:24 Sorry, I laughed inappropriately at this.
Can you talk about other things, such as hobbies or matchmaking?
