How the 400 Years of Japanese Tea Ceremony History Developed

[@LetsaskShogo]

What more about tea ceremony would you like to learn about?

[@something1126]

Can you make a video about children stories in Japan i am interested to know about that killer monk that is shown in every anime which have old Japan theme like demon slayer or rurouni kenshin.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

This sure was interesting - and a fitting beginning for the exploration into tea ceremony itself. To answer your question, I for one would be very much interested in the concept of "Zen" and its connection to the tea ceremony - and of course what goes into a tea ceremony itself. I am aware that both are probably pretty broad topics, but nonetheless worthy looking into as both might grant your audience valuable insights into Japanese culture and philosophy. I for one very much treasure such insights as they allow me to contemplate and reflect on them in order to maybe grow as a person.

[@killuaichigo1093]

It's said these ceremonies are quite long, you mentioned some last 4hrs.... Seeing the length of proper tea ceremonies, that select few people can do them, and so many more.... I deduce that there are multiple stages during a ceremony. Could you make a video detailing the meaning of those different stages & I presume there are many specific actions 2 be done per stage pertaining to that stage.... If you could also detail the meaning behind those actions as well? Of course within the limits of what your master allows. Thx for the great video btw, very informative 👌🏿😍

[@GioNeol12]

what type of tea usually use for tea ceremony?

[@matthewjay660]

Shogo: What more about tea ceremony would you like to learn about? Subscribers: Hai!/Yes! 🙋🏻‍♂️ Ok, actually, the part that fascinates me is all of the meticulous and minute details and precision involved in cleaning, organizing, and preparing the space and tools (?)/instruments (?) of the tea 🍵 ceremony.

[@akaiyui9300]

Shogo is almost halfway on his target sub count. What a time to be alive.

[@-dykttatuob-]

@Blackbeard its so crazy seeing this comment just a year later since he’s almost at a million! It’s crazy that his channel’s grown so much

[@shard_the_sage1320]

I like what you said about Wabi being about "imperfect beauty" reminds me of the art of fixing broken pot with gold.

[@Elven.]

kintsugi!💛🤩

[@BigHenFor]

Wabi sabi

[@JapaneseEmichannel]

I'm glad that you are sharing Japanese culture as a Japanese

[@LocaChoca]

I'm hoping one day your master will allow you to film a complete ceremony from start to finish. I was fortunate enough to sit in on one during the Sakura festival in one of Kyoto's sister cities: Ft. Wayne, IN, and it was beautiful and fascinating. I hope that tea ceremony doesn't disappear, because it is such a unique event that needs to be preserved for future generations.

[@gigic.3791]

Your goal was to reach 10K subs and now you reached 40K! Congrats! I am so happy and proud! I love your videos 😊

[@scottlibman7870]

My friends,and I went to a demonstration of traditional Japanese tea ceremony about 10 years ago. They served us Japanese snacks while we watched. It was wonderful.🇯🇵

[@KerinKasi]

Those snacks (wagashi) are part of the ceremony. Their sweetness is supposed to soften up the slightly bitter matcha. Therefore you eat wagashi beforehand.

[@scottlibman7870]

@@KerinKasi Thanx for the info. They might have said that, but it was 10 years ago,and my memory ain't what it used to be.

[@robertcurrie1160]

I really enjoy your videos they're informative & entertaining,keep up the good work! 😊 ✌️

[@ospididious]

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for making them. Keep up the great work.

[@Flanclanman]

I really appreciate this channel. Both educational and soothing

[@Envision_365]

I been waiting for this. Can't wait for the rest of the series

[@ericaholmes3917]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I would love to one day attend a tea ceremony

[@catherinekasiewicz8683]

Very interesting video. I enjoy your channel very much.

[@querube78]

Sum manly rich dudes and Samurai: **Go to war, get rich, are powerful politicians** Also them: "TEA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "YEAH BRO!!!! I'MMA BET!!!!" "LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@Mortablunt]

Doesn't sound too unlike the English.

[@meluvibes]

Attending/ joining a tea ceremony is in my bucket list when I visit Japan. This is one of the reasons why I love drinking tea so much. Thank you so much for this very informative video! 🍵☺️

[@yiddena]

外国人かもしれませんが、日本の中学1年生の6年生から茶道の練習をしています。私は過去30年間レッスンを受け続けています。茶道はとても美しい芸術形式であり、より多くの人々がこの驚くべき文化的側面の平和と喜びを楽しむことを願っています。Shogoありがとう!あなたの有益なビデオに本当に感謝しています！

[@moniquehuchet3646]

My daughter brought back the art of tea ceremony to Canada after teaching in Japan. She still practice every week with expat Japanese people.

[@mexicanmonokuma597]

Thank you so much for making such videos, they are very informative and all these videos really help me as I am learning about the japanese culture. :D

[@2soulzkilluminati135]

I love your videos, good information about japan it's relaxing, hearing or watching your videos while drinking coffee, tea, eat

[@ciscomontano]

Awesome video Shogo. All of your videos are really informative and interesting. But also very digestible. I have many students who want to teach Japanese culture to foreigners. I think your videos are perfect for them.

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Excellent information! Especially interested in the concept of "wabi" used in conjunction to Chado. Thanks!

[@CapPR1]

Tks Shogo for giving such wonderful information 👍

[@XciccibonziX]

I wonder if you would like to talk us about your relationship with Shintoism. If that's ok for you to talk about it, naturally. I was always fascinated by that religion and I love the folklore and temples

[@lordsakai3450]

I actually asked him the same thing some videos ago ^^

[@Jumpoable]

He's probably doing his research. Shinto isn't just bowing & clapping your hands in front of a shrine. LOL. Notoriously difficult to explain its existence & modus operandi to a western audience that springs from Judeo-Christian or Islamic cultures. These videos seem short & concise, but Shogo is one of the ONLY Japanese KZbinr who's condensing volumes of history & knowledge into a precise, easy-to-understand, eloquent & entertaining manner, editing away all the BS, myths & lies (especially regarding geisha/ samurai/ bushido) that non-Japanese nerds & nationalist (or just misinformed) native Japanese "academics" believe in & spew constantly on the net (& in books). Count your lucky stars this young sensei is creating educational content for y'all in 2021.

[@Gabby-du4mc]

Your channel will blow up soon!!! Very great content n story telling

[@vinnyrivera485]

I always wanted to know what the tea ceremony was all about, especially since it was mentioned here and there while I was participating in a Zazen group in LA. Thank you for putting this up! 🙏👏👏👏

[@NanaViveirosKimie]

I loved this video. Super nice, clear and gave us all the details of the history of tea ceremony ❤️

[@elanacantor546]

Thank you so much! Your videos are extremely interesting and good! Wish you good health and success! You are a young man and have a great future! As an anthropologist I enjoy so much your explanations! Good work! 💪🏻👌🏻💐

[@michaelfieser]

Though I wasn't a participant, a couple of years ago I was able to watch a tea ceremony performed by a group of young students who were learning it. It's funny you should mention it in this video, because the utensils used (their value wasn't specifically mentioned) but the bowls looked quite expensive.

[@ERJones-fd6oh]

this was fascinating. I learned a lot about tea ceremony and am curious to learn more of this interesting facet of culture and history. thank you Shogo

[@funkyducky8751]

I really hope when I can go to Japan I can attend a tea ceremony.

[@jjred1156]

I love learning about other cultures, especially Japanese culture. Thank you so much for the great content NEVER GIVE UP!! Best wishes for you and your family ❤️😊👍

[@trekpac2]

That was just marvellous, Shogo-san.

[@KitKat-gf2xf]

I really would like to know more about this expensive tea utensils. Tableware from Japan looks so beautyful and unique.🍵🥰

[@TheModernRiot]

Now I know what to REALLY use for my hangovers now 😉❤ Another great video! As always.

[@blossomlight2719]

Excellent information..

[@lurima]

Your channel grow so fast! 🎉🎉

[@futurelink1638]

hey shogo! hope you are doing okay🙏🏻 a little tip with your playlists: try to arrange them from "start" to "finish" like this video was all the way down on the list. conten-wise your channal is very interesting. i have been bingewatching your videos for a while. hope to come to kyoto someday!!

[@miboogaroo]

Nice... subs are slowly getting to 100k... good luck.

[@thomasturner4253]

Thank u Most educational

[@Elven.]

I always dreamed of learning how to serve tea

[@havingicecream]

God, I love watching tea ceremony😩💛

[@jeanfish7]

I visited Oda and Masuda. 3 wks in each place. Shimani is beautiful

[@akumakami9727]

Ah Oda Nobunaga, my idol of the feudal era. Even though it doesn't seem like many liked the "Demon King" lol. Love the video 😀! I have fond memories of my mother teaching me tea ceremony when I used to live in Chiyoda, Tokyo.

[@dougpettey7144]

Thank you!

[@kirkbest3238]

Study hard you’ll be a good tea master

[@samaelazazel8994]

Good job 🎌🎌🎌 👏👏👏

[@no2party]

The dislikes for this video are coffee drinkers.

[@TheRydz11]

Well, he a little bit over do this: "100k subs to January 2022". Congratz Shogo!

[@deddylukmanda3528]

Hi shogo, thanks for the video. I am always amaze/like japanese culture and history. For your next video, is it possibe if you can share about how Japan rebuild it’s country post hiroshima and nagasaki bombing? Thankss

[@Spykersan]

How long, on average, does it take to train in tea ceremonies? I was able to observe a brief tea ceremony done in Kyoto during a stage play. That was quite enjoyable to see. I couldn't imagine watching one that goes on for 4 hours though! wow

[@huallah1]

Shogo ~ I admire your video very much and learned much. But I think wabi means "natural, simple, rustic" and in terms of wabi-sabi it is the sabi part that lets the concept of wabi-sabi point to "impermanence, imperfection, incompleteness." What do you think?

[@johnpaulconcepcion3379]

Shogo-san can you make a video about Japanese national anthem? What's the history and how they create it?

[@fafajr]

ありがとうShogo San! 🍵⚔️

[@cryingtree974]

Nice

[@OnnaBlade]

I'm a actually huge fan of tea ceremony More than Europe tea stuff I used only tea ceremony Because my own style

[@tanhql]

I'm learning tea ceremony too (Urasenke), in Singapore here though, so sensei is less strict. Currently in my 10th year now. Are you in Urasenke or Omotesenke? My sensei often says chado encompasses almost all aspects of Japanese traditional culture, like porcelain, kakemono (drawings/calligraphy), ikebana (thru chabana), kodo (香道, "Way of Fragrance") etc.

[@nanocapizano3890]

can u share what books you recommend to share if one wants to learn the process , reasoning, etc

[@saragarofano9727]

Reaching 42. soon, good job :3

[@agenciagirodojapa5519]

Hello, Shogo san! Please, I have one doubt: is there a specific place outside the host's house to hold the tea ceremony, or it can be held at the host's house?

[@nikonikobbs]

New update yay!

[@maskedsentai2003]

Samurais: time for a tea party!

[@tobymak4990]

What about English tea outside the tea room ?🍵👈

[@canallixoso2312]

For some reason the MC of mobuseka, Leon fou bartfort awekenwd in me an interest in tea ceremonies

[@henriidiomas]

👏👏👏👏

[@bayraktarx1386]

This is crazy for someone who doesn't even drink tea.. :D

[@kamilzparyza7931]

@Let's ask Shogo -Your Japanese friend in Kyoto you have to create the new green tea ShogosanTea ;)!

[@AngelinaMonteY]

Don’t forget about Eichu in the 800s! 🍵

[@Jailbreak49]

Hello Shogo, I have a question for you: I have noticed that, while we English speaking people refer to you guys as "Japanese," the word I've heard Japanese use to describe themselves is "Nihonjin", or something like that. Those are two very different words. Where did these two different words come from?

[@avroml]

"Nihon" means "Japan" in the Japanese language. Just as the Germans call themselves "Deutsche" and their country "Deutschland", the Japanese use a different word to describe their country and nation in their language. The English word "Japan" evolved from "Jippon" - this way the Portuguese who were the first Europeans to sail and make business with Japan wrote the country's name. The Japanese themselves spell it like this: 日本 which is pronounced "Nihon" or "Nippon".

[@42kellys]

But what does the word 'matcha' mean? Can you tell me please? Because my confusion starts here.

[@iannurse9350]

Hi sir I am writing you again my school team and I would like to hire your services to experience the culture by way of a seminar of Japanese tea and sword and probably archery, please please respond, 6:06 6:08 if you cannot do it can you recommend someone that is personable and knowledgeable and kind as you.

[@globetrotter8556]

To promote and spread the tradition so that more and more people can participate in the ceremony, some old rules should be changed to accommodate modern lifestyle. When old private golf clubs have started accepting lady members, is it a time to allow tea ceremonies be videotaped and taught online?

[@keithhudson1358]

Is the tea ceremony for marriage in Japan part of thr political aspect of Japanese tea culture or is it more religious?

[@iannurse9350]

And I am interested in bringing that team to Japan in the summer of 2025 and we will truly like if you can be our liaison and guide there

[@kylebrogmus8847]

Why was Sen no Rikyu ordered to commit suicide?

[@Jumpoable]

お見事でございます。 The more I learn about the tea ceremony, the more I realise that it's got NOTHING to do with brewing the best cup of tea, nor is it even about SERVING the most elegant cup of tea. LOL.

[@CJ-rx5fi]

Someone needs to make an anime where the protagonist is a young person studying tea ceremony - then young people will want to study it. It would be a shame to see the culture disappear.
