Beskrivelse

Japanese people think tea ceremony is not just drinking tea itself, is for feeling about the essential of the beauty in Japan. If they say "beauty", they think about the outlook beauty from something, but in the tea ceremony ,they appreciate the inside beauty from the nature. That's why you'll get to feel "Wabi-sabi" on this tour. Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese aesthetic concept that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and philosophy, particularly influenced by Zen Buddhism.

”Matcha” and ”Tea ceremony” are one of the most frequently heard words in Kyoto. So many tourists from oversees come to Kyoto to have experience tea ceremony and drinking real authentic matcha there. Your knowledgeable guide has deep knowledge about the tea ceremony and the background philosophy of it. The tea ceremony will take you on a walk through the centre of Kyoto to see, touch and feel the authentic utensils of it. Your guide will explain everything about the essentials of the tea ceremony, but the most unique part of this tour is letting you feel the essential about the word "Wabi-Sabi" by yourself.

After you feel the meaning of "Wabi-Sabi" throughout the tour, you'll never forget about this unique tea ceremony experience!
