Japanese tea ceremony culture

Japan's tea ceremony, where tea is enjoyed in a solemn atmosphere, is a representative traditional culture with a 700-year history that is deeply rooted in the lives of Japanese people. It came from China at the end of the 12th century and has undergone Japan's own development. 'Tea ceremony' is said to be Japan's Omotenashi culture, in which the simple task of preparing drinks for guests has been sublimated into art.
