Japanese Tea Ceremony Matcha Tea Bowl

Tea Ceremony Vintage bowl- bought in an antique shop in Kyotos Geisha district. I loved that it is a tea ceremony bowl and that it has a Japanese calendar on it displaying the flowers that go with each month. Tea ceremony can be explained by this simple phrase: ichi go ichi e which means each moment only occurs once. The purpose of tea ceremony is all about being present in the moment and remembering that this very moment will never come back again. When we participate in the ceremony we have to forget about everything and just focus on drinking tea in harmony with people around us. Building on this philosophy, the 4 main principles of tea ceremony: WA, KE, SEI and JAKU, also known as, harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
