Japanese tea ceremony is an excersize in precision. Precision governs how utensils are presented, how the towel is folded, the tea retrieved and the water poured.

The ceremony dates as far back as the 16th century. Four principles represent the way of tea: Wa (harmony), Kei (respect), Sei (purity) and Jaku (tranquility)

By going back to the basics of boiling water, making tea and sipping it, all with precision, a calm and refreshed state of mind — is the ultimate goal for those participating in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Big thanks to Atsuko Mori-san from Camellia Garden for allowing me to participate and capture her tea ceremony 🙏
