Japanese Tea Ceremony

Produced and Directed by Vanessa Anthony

[@namnhan2003]

How noble, how classy...this is Zen at its purest form...every movement is measured and well thought. The hostess is enjoying serving tea as much as we are watching.

[@chokoholmes9177]

Extraordinary -the whole ritual and all the small intricate parts and actions-just breath taking - tks for showing

[@Kenney9120]

Absolutely beautiful. :)

[@mangalagummaraju9399]

Been to the wonderful country Japan. I enjoyed every aspect of Japan. Given a chance, I would love to visit again.

[@XCrystalXMoonX]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting.

[@lisabelinda666]

exquisite. 23:33 minutes to harmony.

[@Mrsmop5]

love this, it's so relaxing

[@Catia2006]

Art, perfection, beauty in their purest form...

[@MissdermeanerJ]

LOVE this video. HATE how the soundtrack sounds like a kindergartener messing around with audacity fml. Was trigering my ASMR until floooop. Regardless, lovely video. Very educational!

[@shilloshillos]

The music is crazy. Sounds like flute with random piano notes. Just play some shakuhachi or something.

[@deruderu247]

The structured procedure reminds me of a video game, doing each action individually, even kneeling to close the door each time.

[@moviemadvideo]

I've been getting some complaints about the music. Unfortunately, I cannot go back twenty years ago and change it. So, if you don't like it, mute it or watch something else.

[@Precode100]

This will TEACH her patience again and the practice will give her back her grace of movement.

[@SeasideASMR1]

I was worried this wasn't going to come back!

[@DogsRGr8]

Very hypnotic....I'm falling asleep here.

[@dennis_cory]

Superb! to each of you who made this, THANK you for making a fine video! As a docent with the Morikami Japanese Museum & Gardens at Delray Florida, we greatly value what you have done, by watching this video over and over, to perfect the tea house demonstration and discussions that we offer our visitors every day.

[@ContactoJapon]

Excelent video! Totally illustrative, serious, very profesional. Congratulations for such a good job on edition, music and narration. Thank you!

[@Samurai-Inferno]

I know right??!!

[@JonasClark]

This is the tea ceremony, not "I ordered a cup of tea at a restaurant." This is a ceremony with prescribed roles for everyone involved, and you only go to one of these - it doesn't simply *happen* when you ask for tea. Consider this akin to a ritual, in which everyone involved is an active, willing and trained participant. If all you want is tea, don't go to a tea ceremony.

[@Besateswarrior]

if the ceremony itself is made to taste silence, why to insert a totally out-of-place music?

[@deenibeeni3938]

I totally agree. When I watch it I have to mute the sound, but I miss hearing the splash of water & the occasional clink of china. I wish the filmmaker would post another version without the soundtrack, because this tea master's movements are so exquisite.

[@LisaBeergutHolst]

Just to annoy you 😎

[@Roy_Godiksen]

A Wonderful tutorial.

[@grecia8599]

there's a tea ceremony clad in my college and for my eastern art history class, we were given a demonstration. From what I remember, each movement is deliberate and practiced. Tea ceremonies are an ancient tradition in that they were performed for war Lords, feudal Lords, and samurai.

[@sla82885]

i think it's a great tradition :)

[@Sharru]

That's a very important concept behind the whole ceremony :)

[@jdn94]

It's for the sake of meditation. It's to clear one's mind from all other thoughts. It's culture. To the Asian culture, tea time isn't shoving lipton tea bags in hot water and shoving sugar and honey in it, it's a time to meditate, to clear everything in your mind and focus on one thing. And besides, lipton is probably shit tasting compared to the tea this girl is preparing. There are many purposes in what she's doing too. Western culture likes things fast and right now...leads to imperfections.

[@АндрейСнайперКузнецов]

Yall be dissing on the music, but it is catchy in a weird way.

[@LisaBeergutHolst]

7:06 At first I thought "what's a chaku" then I realized she is saying "charcoal" ( ⁀‿⁀ )

[@Oyuki-Mayonesa]

I thought i wanted to go to one of these, but if they play this music, i think i’ll have to skip it.

[@namnhan2003]

Yes, for you, i would...because it is just good enough.

[@zerotolerance5581]

Entire thing triggers ASMR.

[@namnhan2003]

Well, you know what they say: the great thinkers think alike....thank you for backing me up. You must be very Zen, also....

[@sevenoneheart641]

good !!!

[@darkirii]

This is just called: Japanese Art.

[@susantriangle]

Very beautiful video, but VERY unpleasant background music. Not appropriate for the tea ceremony. Please upload again with more suitable music -- something more melodious... or something traditional. Thank you for the excellent video.

[@namnhan2003]

How can i put it? how can i explain between the mindful gesture and doing thing like the programmed robot? If you could diffentiate between swallow foods whole and chewing and enjoying the taste, you would appreciate the Japanese tea ceremony. Well, for some people, the culture is nothing but only the abstract notion.

[@Goji_OL]

I'm watching a tv show withmy son xalled Timothy goes to school and there is a Japanese cat character and she is showing ow to do a tea ceremony at school :)

[@OR0R0]

kawaii ^_^

[@Goji_OL]

cute :)

[@MrTrevor181]

The music is ok at the beginning, but becomes annoying during the ceremony.

[@SageElvie]

Skip beat

[@01AnimeFreakYuka]

***** ♥ thought of that too.

[@deeprollingriver5820]

The music disrupted the whole feeling.

[@SWGINSPECTOR]

Had to stop watching after 2 minutes because the really loud and annoying music just keeps repeating.

[@deenibeeni3938]

SWGINSPECTOR That seems to be the general consensus. Music hated by (almost) all. I have to mute the audio in order to watch.

[@robertsyrett1992]

+Denise Di Salvo I have to admit it is challengingly atonal music.

[@tam_ryan1036]

Shame really. All these wonderfully Zen videos need is the natural audio. No music required.

[@Precode100]

This is why it is the perfect therapy for my wife after ongoing Cancer treatment and open Brain surgery have left her with a skewed sense of time leaving her with no patience and very little precision of movement.

[@선다류]

感謝

[@MB-qx9vn]

I’m usually fairly forgiving with KZbin vids because the makers were kind enough to create and share them. However, it’s a real shame to have this well made and informational video ruined by this REALLY jarring music! Please upload again with better or no music!

[@BladedEdge]

Good information, but terrible music and the wrong video aspect ratio make this irritating to watch.

[@159SG]

yeah i'm sure people back then had nothing better to do than brew tea in tea ceremonies. Instead of bashing people on KZbin.com right?

[@lisamcandrews5739]

I love the whole tea ceremony but the music is really really bad. Please do not do that again. Can you just have birds chirping in the background?

[@deruderu247]

The narrator's pronunciation of ladle :')

[@jeredlawday4015]

anyone else think of snes sim city watching this?

[@moviemadvideo]

[@nickk5263]

I wonder how long it takes her to make coffee

[@loki-qd4zp]

Tom K it is tea not coffee

[@edgeleek7865]

本当に日本の茶道は若者に人気がなくなりましたね いまや老人だけの暇つぶしになっているような気がします

[@yesicanrawr]

Nihongo people are so gentle :3

[@mannaz2525]

Nihonjin*

[@OR0R0]

'go' is meaning language. Nihongo = Japanese language. Eigo = English language. 'jin' is meaning person/ppl. Nihonjin = Japanese person/ ppl. Amerikajin = American person/ppl. etc.

[@OR0R0]

you say japanese language ppl are so gentle lol

[@sandamn85]

scroll... I thought she said "hanging squirrels to please the guest" :))

[@illznik2]

I like drinking tea when I want to drink tea, not twenty minutes later.

[@deenibeeni3938]

How wonderful for you that you have the option to drink your tea immediately. You also have the option to avoid watching someone who does want to take 20 minutes. All you have to do is change the channel. You don't have to waste another second of your life watching something you don't want to watch, waiting for things you don't want to wait for, or making inane comments. Think of the time you'll save.

[@tiejingang]

Most people in Asia, most of the time just dump some tea leaves into a mug and pout hot water in. It is no more romantic than shoving lipton tea bags in hot water. Formal Western tea service has just as much culture as formal Asian tea service.

[@JonasClark]

Also: Lipton? Really?? Lipton is junk compared to good Japanese macha (green tea). Tea in a cardboard box isn't much better, usually, than drinking tea made from the cardboard box itself.

[@jcarlos100]

The music is annoying

[@markgoddard2560]

I really enjoy this cultural masterpiece, but why make it a trial of endurance with the awful music! Would not the Japanese flute have been appropriate ?

[@Crymelove]

23:33 minutes to make a cup of hot lipton ....not including the 45 minutes she probably wasted on bowing in front of the cabnet, sink and stove when preparing the hot water -_- with a hint of 12 minutes of bowing before the lipton tea box

[@paulproductions9213]

Lovely voice video, horrible background track.

[@davidrobin5861]

this music is bad

[@markgoddard2560]

What an appalling soundtrack....like a cat on a piano keyboard.

[@markgoddard2560]

Sorry.. can’t stand the music.

[@earthborne]

This was... really terrible narration...

[@Crymelove]

man you have to do all this before giving me a cup of lipton?!?! this is horrible ... i'd tell that woman don't you bow before nothing in this room ...i'd just get my tea at home cold or hot i believe i'd get mines faster than she is serving all of that uneccessary bowing that she is doing makes no sence tredition or no tradition -_-
