The Japanese tea ceremony is one of the traditional Japanese arts that best represents the "essence of Japanese culture".
Tea, like many other things, was first introduced by Buddhist monks around the 9th century. Later, in the same way, came the matcha green tea we know today as characteristic of Japan. Thus, the ceremony has evolved under the influence of Zen Buddhism.
A prominent figure in the history of the Japanese tea ceremony is Sen Rikyu (16th century), who laid the foundations of what is known as wabicha, an approach in which the predominant aesthetic concept is simplicity. He is also believed to have introduced the concept of the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", in line with the Buddhist belief in continuous change.
In any case, the basic concepts of all traditional Japanese art, and especially of the tea ceremony, are harmony, respect, purity and tranquility.
In the tea ceremony you can appreciate the Japanese effort to achieve maximum simplicity and refinement in the movements that symbolize true beauty.
