| | Japanese Tea Ceremony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Since a tea practitioner must be familiar with the production and types of tea, with kimono, calligraphy, flower arranging, ceramics, incense and a wide range of other disciplines and traditional arts in addition to his or her school's tea practices, the study of tea ceremony takes many years and often lasts a lifetime. | | | Tea ceremonies may take place outside (in which case some kind of seating will usually be provided for guests) or inside, either in a tea room or a tea house, but tea ceremonies can be performed nearly anywhere. | | | Kaiseki for tea ceremony is sometimes referred to as chakaiseki (茶懐石, cha: "tea") meaning "tea kaiseki." Chakaiseki usually includes one or two soups and three different vegetable dishes along with pickles and boiled rice. |

| | Zen and Leaves: Japanese Tea Ceremony |
| | Ceremonies are held to honour special guests, to celebrate particular occasions such as the blossoming of the cherry trees in Spring, to admire the full moon, or simply to gather together a few friends. | | | A full tea, or Chaji, involves a meal and the serving of two different types of tea and can last for four hours, but shorter, simpler teas can be served to suit individual occasions. | | | A Japanese cup of tea is more than is implied by the name for the ceremony - cha no yu (hot water for tea). |

| | The appreciation and value of the utensils of tea: tea bowls, tea jars (chaire), and water jars (Mizusashi), to name a few, are not only in their aesthetic properties, but in their use and exchange in tea ceremony. | | | The most renowned tea utensils gained fame from their history and use by famous chajin (practitioners of tea) in memorable and historic tea ceremonies. | | | Further reflecting the preciousness of tea utensils was their treatment when damaged; rather than be discarded, they were artistically mended with gold and lacquer, reflecting both the care of owners through time, and the imperfect beauty of Wabi tea. |

| | While Westerners may think of tea as a nourishing beverage, for the Japanese, Tea is an important social ritual, according to Herbert Plutschow in "An Anthropological Perspective on the Japanese Tea Ceremony."
