At the \u5e7d\u9759\u5eb5, I had many precious experiences, including learning various tea preparation procedures (\u304a\u70b9\u524d, otemae) and participating in a special ceremony to celebrate the change of season called \u53e3\u5207 (kuchikiri).<\/p>\n<p>The \u5e7d\u9759\u5eb5 was always filled with the smell of\u00a0burned incense and charcoal, and was the perfect place to learn aut<span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">hentic Urasenke school Japanese tea ceremony. The teacher was very kind and always taught us interesting histories and background stories in Japanese tea ceremony. Learning about Japanese culture and values while drinking a bowl of matcha and eating the finest seasonal sweets was a very peaceful and delightful time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I strongly recommend anyone interested\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">in learning about Japanese aesthetics or traditional arts to have a semester of Japanese tea ceremony experience. Japanese tea ceremony teaches you the spirit of Japanese hospitality, and through preparing a bowl of matcha, you will be filled with calmness and have the chance to quietly face yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my Community Involvement Project (CIP), I learned Japanese tea ceremony at \u5e7d\u9759\u5eb5 (yuseian), which is a tea r &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/2023\/12\/04\/chiemi-tagami-japanese-tea-ceremoy\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080 <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":652,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_locale":"ja","_original_post":"12576"},"categories":[35,177,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12576"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/652"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12576"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13930,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12576\/revisions\/13930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kcjs.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
