Japanese traditional performing arts #1: Tea Ceremony, Koto and Flower Arrangement
Tea Ceremony
In Japan, there is a traditional tea ceremony called chanoyu(茶の湯) or sadō, chadō(茶道).
In sado, the master of the ceremony invites guests and serves Japanese traditional tea called matcha.
The spirit of sado is based on Zen philosophy.
During the Kamakura period, as Zen became popular in Japan, so did sado.
After that, in Azuchi-Momoyama period, Sen-no-rikyu invented “Wabicha” which became the origin of modern Sado.
The act of making a tea is called “Temae.”
The master of the ceremony will bring his/her tools to make the tea. He/She will then, clean the tea bowl and pour some hot water to warm up the bowl.
The master of the ceremony will add matcha, a powdered green tea in the tea bowl, pour hot water, stir with a bamboo whisk called “Chasen” and then serve it to the guest.
When you receive the tea, you must first bow.
Before holding the bowl, you have to say “Otemae itadakimasu” to the master of the ceremony.
You pick up the bowl with your right hand and put it on your left hand. Then, turn the bowl twice clockwise.
Sado is based on Japanese spirit of hospitality.
The Corner performs the “ryurei” style of the Tea Ceremony, seating on stools, for visitors from foreign countries not used to kneeling on tatami.
Japanese harp Koto
The koto (箏) is an ancient Japanese six-stringed zither traditionally played with ivory plectrums worn on the fingers, producing wonderful harmonies.
Flower Arrangement
Kado(華道) is a traditional Japanese art originating from the Heian period in which flowers and plants are specially arranged in a vase for appreciation.
It is also called Ikebana.
Those flowers are usually displayed in tokonoma.
※tokonoma: an alcove in a traditional Japanese room where art and ikebana are displayed.
It is said that Ikebana began when the Buddhist monk offered flowers before a mortuary tablet.
Flowers and plants in ikebana represent human life and express its beauty and venerableness.
In Ikebana, flowers also represent heaven, earth and man, which are to be arranged in a proper balance.
People enjoy seeing the mystic power of plants expressed in the flower organ.
You can take in seven kinds of performing arts, most notably kyo-mai dance performed by maiko dancers at Gion Corner.
Located in Yasaka Hall next to the Gion Kobu Kaburenjo Theatre, the spot has a very international flavour, as it is popular with Japanese and foreign tourists.
