Welcome to the tea ceremony experience today. First, let's start with a basic bow.

Yes. Teacher, sitting on a tatami mat makes my legs hurt a bit.

It's tough until you get used to it, but sitting with a straight back calms the mind. This is called "silence" or serenity.

I see. When should I eat this sweet?

Please eat it before drinking the tea. The sweetness of the sweet brings out the bitterness of the tea you'll drink later.

I understand. This is a delicious steamed bun. Well then, next is the tea at last, right?

Yes. When you receive the tea bowl, lift it slightly once with a feeling of gratitude. Then, rotate it twice clockwise to avoid the front before drinking.

Does rotating it have any meaning?

It is an expression of humility, not putting your mouth on the front of the bowl, which is the most beautiful part. This is also called the spirit of Japanese hospitality, "Omotenashi".

In traditional Japanese culture, every single movement has a deep meaning. This is very educational.

Yes. It is not just about form; a heart that cares for the other person is at the root of the tea ceremony.

A heart that cares for the other person, huh. That's a way of thinking I'd like to cherish in my daily life, too.

Exactly. Through tea, I would be happy if you could have some time to reflect on yourself.

I am truly grateful for being allowed to have such a valuable experience today.
