Very simple Japanese tea ceremony at a Japanese garden of Daimyo, 3star-Michelin Green garden.

Thank you for choosing my video. Please do not watch if you do not have time to relax. In this video, you will see the Japanese garden and a very simple tea ceremony. "You will feel like being a Daimyo, who enjoyed the view of the garden and calmness.
Feel like being a Daimyo; feudal landlord.　Matcha is good for your health too. Watch and give it a try!
Usually no music at the tea ceremony but I would like it more friendly to anyone interested in Japanese culture. Even among Japanese formal Tea Ceremony is not accessible. It's very formal and there are certain manners and behaviors to follow.
During the formal Tea Ceremony, you can only hear the sound of water boiling and poured into a tea bowl. The sound is very pleasant and relaxing.
This is not the formal tea ceremony in the formal setting but simplified without using an iron tea kettle or ladle. However, you can enjoy the atmosphere, I hope. The orders of the procedure and behaviors are the same. You can try to make a match as following the video.
Watch this video and get a flipbook. • Are you interested in ...

This is beautiful and calming. Such elegant and grace. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Edited: I did not mind the background noise. It adds to how in the chaos of the world, we can remain peaceful. The music is beautiful and authentic. I love this video. Thanks 😊

I enjoyed a tea ceremony with Japanese family in brazil. I had no idea so many Japanese lived in brazil. And keep tradition alive.

[@mr.dominic9636]

I love Japanese culture and traidition And one day I will travel in Japan and enjoy this ceremony

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comment. Please visit Japan. I recommend you to come to Japan in spring when cherry blossom bloom beautifully or fall when leaves turned red, and yellow. You can taste matcha outside viewing the beauty. From New Year’s Eve to New year is fun too. There still remains traditional food and customs, though it’s cold and expensive. Just making match makes you feel being in Japan.

Hello! I made a video for you. Just uploaded. I tried hard to capture a better sound but my microphone captured other noises , too. Hope you will lower the volume and hear the sound of tea better. I will try again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGGbfouDdseBeLM 💕

I'm a Hotel Specialist Trainee from Germany and I have the Task to create an Weekend Arrangement. This Video was really helpful for me :) I would like to lern the Ceremony someday

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comments. Even you are in Germany and do not have the proper tools and utensils, you will enjoy the tea with your guest. All the encounters are only once in our lifetime so just appreciate tea and moment to share with. How did your Weekend Arrangement go?

[@andrewtrovao2397]

I know it was a long time ago, but who is this wanderer hindering the tea ceremony?

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comment! I wished no noise. This is in Korakuen, one of the three great gardens in Japan, one-Michelin Green Guide-star garden, that used to be a Daimyo garden open to the public. There are tea houses, cottages, and No theater. I reserved the cottage but I had no control outside of this room. From this room, you can see the garden and his castle.okayama-korakuen.jp/section/english/

Excelente movimientos , faltó el de marcar con el dedo la servilleta , pero excelente , lástima por los q anduvieron detrás de las cámaras moviendo todo , lo arruinó , la ceremoniadora se tuvo q molestar en hacer gestos 😒😒

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comment!　Do you practice tea ceremony too? Your school is different from my school. That's you thought i skipped one procedure. If I misunderstood. your comment correctly, I apologize,

[@goatwarrior3570]

You should probably tell your camera guy to frame his shots before you start filming.

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your advice! I should have camera test. Next time I will.

[@abhinavmailing]

Wish the background music to add effects wasn't there.

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comment. I was wondering which would be better for you... Next time I will.

[@Hanya1210]

[@motokojapanseculture]

Hanya1210 I would like to see the photos! Facebook page Motoko Japan. Why don't you do tea ceremony where you can see the Pyramids？it seems very interesting, blending with ancient Egyptian culture and Japanese culture.

[@shizuwolf]

Anyone else here from Samurai Jack?

[@motokojapanseculture]

What do you mean? Can you explain Sanurai Jack?

[@shizuwolf]

motokojapanseculture an animated series from 2001 about a samurai who trained since childhood to try and the demon that enslaved his home, but then the demon opens a portal that sends the samurai into the distant future. Then the rest of the series is about his many adventures until he finds a way to travel back in time and kill the demon.

[@MasterArchfiend]

Somehow. The Tea Ceremony scene just appeared on my homepage, I watched and now I am actively looking up Tea Ceremony videos. They are so serene and almost...other worldly I guess. I read dictionaries and the thesaurus for fun and I still find myself unable to think of the right way to say what I mean. They make my hair stand up, but not out of fear or anything. I can't explain it. I don't know how. They just make me feel...nice and peaceful. I guess that's why I used "other worldly" as this calm is unlike anything that I really experience in my daily life.

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you so much for your comment . Yes, for me too, Tea Ceremony take me to total peace and nothingness of my mind. Do you think it’s amazing these manners and movements have not been changed for over 400-450years. People of upper class to general public could enjoyed drinking hot tea and silent and communications between a host and a guest.this video showed the simplest way without using iron kettle and ladle. However movements and procedure are same. I am so glad that you connected your life and tea ceremony which I and Japanese have been enjoyed. There are many rules and not many people do not try or experience tea ceremony now. They are hesitant to make mistakes. Please try to make your own matcha!

[@markgoddard2560]

With due respect, this is a travesty. You cannot maintain the dignity of the ceremony using....god help us...a squeeze top thermos flask, a tray, and have people banging about and singing in the background. All the implements, including the here absent ladle, have meaning and process in the ceremony.

[@motokojapanseculture]

Thank you for your comments. My intention is not to show the formal tea ceremony in the formal setting but to share and enjoy the tea ceremony, more widely and feel familiar. The tea ceremony is too formal and far even for most of the Japanese people. My goal for this video is for many people to enjoy the moment over tea and trace the tradition and the Japanese atmosphere. The procedures, the movement, and behavior are the same as the formal. You know a lot about the tea ceremony so you may have heard that Ryaku damage or Bon Temae which means simplified, using a tray? This appeared after World War 2. when Japan had lost proper tools. Even though we do not have the formal tools in the formal setting, we can enjoy the tea. Tea Ceremony is called Chanoyu, literally, mean hot water for tea. The essence is for both a guest and a host appreciate tea and the moments. This video was taken and the music is just for easy to relax and watch. You have experienced real quietness with intensity. I also have learned and experienced the formal tea ceremony so I understand you.

[@germainegrewal8833]

There are hundreds of differing procedures called temae, each taught as a student advances in their levels. The temae shown here isn't what you have in mind, it is a bon temae, or ryakubon as we call it in Urasenke. It it a simplified temae taught to students when the first enter a tea tradition, of which there are many. Chado is all about the guest and the host, and savouring each encounter, as it summed up in the proverb "ichi go ichi e." Sen no Rikyu, the great medival tea master, once answered after being asked a question, "Tea is nothing more than this: heat the water, prepare the tea, and drink it properly. That is all you need to know." The spirit of Chado is more important than dignity. In a tea room we bow before entering as a sign of us resigning our ego and entering a space where we are all equal. This goes to show that regardless of the utensils used, we should savour the moment and the encounter rather than feel tempered over mistakes.

[@motokojapanseculture]

和敬静寂 Harmony. Respect. Peace. Tranquility. As you know the essence of tea ceremony. I have learned from very experienced teacher every week for over 15 years, I understand it’s still short. My teacher didn’t teach me Bon dense until i told her to move to the States. This Is not the beginners because it is simplified one. We need proper practice before something informal .Bin tense was created during they could get iron kettles because of war. All iron bells of temples and frying pans and pots were taken away by the government. Under minimum utensils they wanted to enjoy tea. That’s the start of Bon deme, my teacher explained. So she thought I could enjoy tea ceremony in the States without formal setting. I think even bontemae the essence is alive. This is what I think. You have your thinking and you respect your teacher as I respect my teacher. I respect you understanding. Tea ceremony brings peace and harmony. Thank you.

[@germainegrewal8833]

motokojapanseculture very true and very well said. I was just trying to explain to this person who called it a “travesty” that Chado is more than meets the eye. When I was 13 years old, I remember going to a local cultural fair in our very small city where people of different nationalities had all gathered to share their traditions. As my parents were Indian immigrants, it was natural that I went. I remember my school friends and I walking around, looking for something to do. At the back of the large facility, I spotted a lady in a kimono with strange utensils on a black table infront of her. Though there were not many people there, I decided to go and see what she had to offer. Though her English was not very good, I sat down. Next to her, a sign red, “Japanese tea ceremony”. My first impression was, “it’s so elaborate and proper.” I took the lady card and contemplated trying to learn it myself. I had always had a fascination with Japanese culture, so I decided to give it a go. During my first lesson, my sensei read me what was written on the kakejiku, “wa, kei, sei, jaku.” As I continued to attend, my understanding grew. Chado was a way of life, a discipline, an art and a philosophy all together. Chado has changed me as a person. Lessons from my sensei, such as “Ichi go ichi e” have taught me to savour each encounter. When I was depressed, I was lifted by practicing bon temae. You are right when you say that it is now just a beginner temae, for it is a way of enjoying tea in a informal setting without utensils. Chado is something that can bring us together. When we enter through the nijiri guchi, we are reminded that we are not higher or lower than anyone. When we drink form the same bowl during koicha, we are taught to be mindful. As we bow, we are taught it be grateful. By the way, what school do you learn from?

[@motokojapanseculture]

@@germainegrewal8833san Thank you so much for your comment. I was impressed by your story to meet Chado/Sado, way of tea. We are the same student/practitioner of the Tea ceremony, I learned Omote Senke. I was so shocked by his comment and I thought I had another negative comment on my video. I am glad that you understood my intention and share the same value in doing the tea ceremony. I do Ikebana for more than 35 years and in Ikebana also way of flower. As the tea ceremony has enriched your life, Ikebana and the tea ceremony have cultured and developed my life and personality. Ikebana also originated in a Zen temple. Both lead us to serenity and peace and appreciate life. The encounter of flowers is also Ichigo Ichie, We are sharing moments of life, Flowers have a very short life and I arrange them. Life is an accumulation of moments. Nature is as beautiful as usual even this pandemic which gives me hope and joy. I should have thanked him because his comment connected us. If you have time please watch this Ikebana video. Though this is not perfect, either, I hope you will understand my passion to share peace through the Ikebana and tea ceremony which, I believe, enrich people of the world. You enriched my life. Thank you so much for your reply again. By the way, do you still make matcha by yourself?
