I saw a tea ceremony live. the whole room was so quiet and the atmosphere was amazing. It was probably a once in a lifetime happening, so I'm very glad I got the chance to see this.
Auto...sensory... it's that tingly feeling you get when you hear or see a certain kind of stimulus, whether that be a relaxing voice, or seeing someone perform a slow deliberate movement. There can be many triggers and there are many videos available to explore. Welcome to the rabbit hole of ASMR. Enjoy.
Is the slowness irritating for you? That's kinda interesting, the slowness is what makes me relax and slow down too. I wonder why some people don't enjoy it... maybe they feel they don't have time to go slow?

Can't believe I'm saying this, but what I found extremely fascinating was the ever so slight difference in sound the 2 temperatures of water make when poured into the bowl. It's very subtle, but there is a difference!
I like watching video's like this because it's relaxing and it helps me slow down in order to not become a burnout figuratively and literally speaking. If someone just keeps moving without taking things easy you will shorten your life span and most likely be less happy with yourself throughout that life span as well. Watching these video's helps with that problem. I live in the U.S and people think I am crazy for doing this until I tell them that being alive is important as well and should not be taken for granted.
Charlotte Roberts would you believe me if I said I never knew that until you mentioned it? Domo arigato! I REALLY needed to hear that actually. You would not care to believe me if I told you how not knowing that (until just now) has impacted my life. I think you just added 10 years to my maximum life span. :)
Accepted Giant i would believe you. :) i believe that when we believe in ourselves, life becomes more real and accessible. one of my most favourite quotes is 'can you remember who you were before the world told you how to be', which is why understanding ourselves creates peace of mind. i am aware it sounds simple to some, but since i discovered this, i have been free falling into every emotion and i have never been more full as a human until i reached self acceptance. :)xx peace to you my san! :)
Charlotte Roberts You know I never heard that explained to me that way and it's obvious you knew that. You see I only recently totally accepted myself only about this time last year (Oct6th2013) and that is why I chose the name accepted giant. Of course the giant part is more literal then symbolic because I am 6'6" tall in real life. I only knew of that peace of mind you where talking about for only just over a year(I am 37 now). I was not even in denial I was simply to distracted by everyday survival to be able to function correctly. I am built like a tank but I am still made out of flesh and blood like everyone else. Usually I am the one who really has the wisdom in most debates but this time I found someone who is wiser then me. I find that rather refreshing and relaxing somehow. :)
that makes me happy that another human has found serenity of self! :) i hope that your life flow will become smoother now you are on a more centred journey :) we are forever learning from and off each other - wisdom comes from understanding one another and allowing acceptance of humanity into your frame of reference - i find its about remembering that the person in front of you is only as human as yourself and humans are magnificent beings :) i am happy to know you feel relaxed and mellowed by my understandings :) take care and spread peace my friend :)
Why am I so obsessed with Japanese culture? Simple: Because everything there is refined into either an elegant artform or a spiritual meditative process. Writing calligraphy, pruning tiny trees, arranging flowers, folding paper, or even something as basic as brewing and drinking tea!
@Andre Marchand or working with such ferocity that it results in death, or literally just killing themselves due to not being able to deal with the almost complete lack of individual ability to flaunt the insane amount of rigidity and structure in their society. Yeah such a wonderful culture
A beautiful chanoyu video. And so nice that is has the real sound. It seems all other videos need to put some music or bird noise over it. This is how it should be. Beautifully done. Very serene, very beautiful
Abaddon Interitus I went to one two weeks ago in my tour guide. It was called Japan Deluxe Tour. It was an amazing tour. I have never felt so relaxed in my life. We got to make our own green tea. This was a beautiful ceremony. Totally recommend going!
I've got a tingling sensation just below the back of my neck I can't believe I've seen an actual Japanese Tea Ceremony . . . WITH SOUND! It was really lovely
I appreciate this video so much after wading through a bunch with narration -- or time jumps. I came for the ceremony, just that, and all of that. Thank you.
Nothing is ever small; everything has many, many processes behind it that made it. To take the time to honor something with a ceremony is to honor everything and everyone that made it possible.
I've found my original comment from half a decade ago. Here it is, and I quote: "I've got a tingling sensation just below the back of my neck I can't believe I've seen an actual Japanese Tea Ceremony . . . WITH SOUND! It was really lovely" Re-watching it today and I still get the same sensation. I don't know what it is, but a guy replied to me back then with somewhat interesting "explaination" and I use the term very loosely because it doesn't explain exactly why I get this feeling. Here is that comment: "@AriochStarr I get that sensation when I'm learning/watching something interesting. You're actually the first person I've known that has had the same thing." It kinda does make sense as I do find it interesting, even if it is slightly. It's really weird what I'm generally feeling, though. Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have the same tingling sensation?
I love the show of the elements and the power they give to the ceremony. The wind prayer was beautiful and I love the water blessing on both the cup and the earthen pot at the end. What a wonderful artist. Thank you for sharing this ancient skill. May I one day know such calm grace over a cup of tea! xxxooo
I had found this awesome video way back in the beginning & decided to revisit. So glad it's still available. THANK YOU for posting. It's one of the only Tea Ceremony vids that has everything line up...the Sun, the solitude, the patience..the SOUND is everything! How sad that comments on here are so ignorant of an ancient ritual. Even tho this is filmed in CO, these Japanese arts are dying out...absorb some beautiful healing culture before it's gone.
An incredibly beautiful video. I'd love to learn this. It shows the beauty in every single step, each has a purpose and is done fully. It shows the doing and undoing of an action, the deliberateness of one simple task. If only we could appreciate and approach every task we do each day with such grace. We would always find joy in the peace of chores and necessary tasks.
what's important here is that the process of HOW something is done, i.e. making tea can be just as important, healing and revitalizing as WHAT is done. This is a great reminder that we are at the base of ourselves creators, so why not enjoy the process as much as the end result :)
I never realized the tea ceremony has its own kind of music emanating from the process itself. Reminds me of the noises of cooking at my grandmothers house. My eyes are closing and my soul feels rested...
I can't believe I found this incredibly filmed ceremony 6 yrs ago and it still moves me! Great notes: several camera angles :Beautiful sunlight pouring in : Fantastic SOUND (which really makes the while experience!) :Love the non-verbal :Inspire me to go to Japan to see ceremony in Kyoto, etc... Culture is meant to be shared, we're all connected on our small planet!
This is so wonderfully soothing, just everything a tea ceremony should be. A time for quiet reflection, coming into inner harmony with oneself. Except for the water pouring, the snapping of the napkin, and the tapping of the bamboo utensil..there is very little sound. Of course that is intentional...
Joy is a gifted woman and I have gotten to experience this ceremony many times at Koken and having her as guest presenter at the library were I work. I'm also studying this amazingly, beautiful ceremony.
I googled "Tea Ceremony" expecting an ASMR paradise. This one delivered best. Well filmed, crisp but unobtrusive audio, and a relaxing delight. Thank You.
Maybe it's different in person, but I don't really get how this is at all relaxing. It made me fidget just watching. I jumped every time she snapped that cloth!
Watching this video I feel as you serve me with a cup of interior peace. I think this is the mean of the ceremony. So thank you very much for your kindness !
Of course, when one eliminates all mistakes there is no need to strive for...; and one must also consider that the ceremony would then be assimilated by the BORG! (Go back to the beginnings of the ceremony to see if mistakes were made, or was it something else?)
The skill of complete composure only raises the ire of those who don't have it. For me, there is more grace and poise expressed here than in any ballet I ever saw. Wa Dok
Something so trivial as pouring hot water over green tea leafs had become the highest act of art.Through the ceremony and tea pottery like Raku and Hagi it beautifully echoes the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of imperfect,impermanent and incomplete nature of our lives.lt teaches and reminds me to see the value and importance in things that would have otherwise passed by me unnoticed and taken for granted.
Thanks for asking Joy, I really appreciate it. If I ever get down your way (I live in Loveland) I would love to attend one of her tea ceremonies. I noted her website and will check it out.
Monk: This is terrible. Jack: Really? Monk: Yes. Quite terrible. It has all the necessary ingredients, but lacks the most crucial one: balance. I see why the path to your sword is clouded.
This is Japanese traditional way to give guests a warm welcome hospitality. Her behavior looks so slow that it really gets on your nerves. but when you come to Japan, try tea ceremonies. You`ll be very impressed.
@wannafreeze It is still very much practiced in Japan. Most college Campus have their own Tea House along with a Tea Club. I was over in Japan all last year actually and was able o train and practice enough with the Tea Club at my university in Kasugai that i was able to get my certification as an instructor and started a Japanese Tea Ceremony Club at Ohio Univ.
+DeathJester1066 Yes. Please not the guest will have previously washed his hands and mouth before entering the room. When offered the tea, the guest exchanges bows with the host. The bowl will be presented with a pattern facing the guest, who is to admire it, then rotate the bowl before drinking so that others may admire the decoration and to avoid touching it with the lips or the tea. If there is more than one guest, the first person to drink will take a sip, wipe the rim of the bowl, then pass it to the second person with the pattern facing the one who is to drink and the movements continue untill everyone has had a sip. The last one to drink returns the bowl to the host. Now the tea utensils can be respectfully admired, if so wished. Some can be antique or very beautiful. The guests then exit with a bow.
I wonder if the reason behind the elaborate ceremony was to demonstrate cleanliness back in the days of ancient Japan. If you watch the ceremony there are 3 parts: Cleaning the bowl and utensils before use, making the tea/drinking the tea, cleaning the bowl and utensils after use. It begins to make sense that there was a lot of form added to the function.
The original ASMR video, long before anyone knew what ASMR was. Simply the best!
bananafingerrrs that's actually Bob Ross bro
or for me atleast
Absolutely Bob Ross. Joy of Painting was triggering me back in the early 90s.
12 years ago, long before the asmr concept, i joined a tea ceremony club because i loved the sounds so much
In it’s heyday, it was one of the stopping places for the jet set, even before anybody knew what a jet set was.
I saw a tea ceremony live. the whole room was so quiet and the atmosphere was amazing. It was probably a once in a lifetime happening, so I'm very glad I got the chance to see this.
I am so glad that the tea ceremony has managed to survive throughout the millennia as it has. So beautiful.
I know right??!!
The best ASMR is rarely meant as ASMR. Yes this is meant to bring about peace and tranquility, but ASMR wasn't the intended goal.
so true
Gist432 what is ASMR?
Auto...sensory... it's that tingly feeling you get when you hear or see a certain kind of stimulus, whether that be a relaxing voice, or seeing someone perform a slow deliberate movement. There can be many triggers and there are many videos available to explore. Welcome to the rabbit hole of ASMR. Enjoy.
Agreed, the best kind of ASMR is unintentional.
Gist432 True. I find asmr channels with fake gestures and whispers stupid
Anyone else find it extremely calming for stress just watching her?
I find it infuriating. No I'm not joking.
Is the slowness irritating for you? That's kinda interesting, the slowness is what makes me relax and slow down too. I wonder why some people don't enjoy it... maybe they feel they don't have time to go slow?

Its too much of perfection😒but then its what they consider tea ceremony.
@Rodrigo Galvão but then where is tranquility in that?
Can't believe I'm saying this, but what I found extremely fascinating was the ever so slight difference in sound the 2 temperatures of water make when poured into the bowl. It's very subtle, but there is a difference!
Steve Mould made a neat video about that.

Well aren't you all so smart.
Well duh yall no culture is perfect let them enjoy the good aspect of it

No I'm not a weeb. If you're wondering about my pfp, that's because I decided not to use a picture of myself.

A beautiful chanoyu video. And so nice that is has the real sound. It seems all other videos need to put some music or bird noise over it. This is how it should be. Beautifully done. Very serene, very beautiful
Watching this makes me feel so peaceful. Seeing a Japanese tea ceremony in person is on my bucket list.
Abaddon Interitus masts JAL pari
Abaddon Interitus I went to one two weeks ago in my tour guide. It was called Japan Deluxe Tour. It was an amazing tour. I have never felt so relaxed in my life. We got to make our own green tea. This was a beautiful ceremony. Totally recommend going!
Abaddon Interitus we are going to do this this year for a Field trip!!! I'm so excited!!!
I have partook in a tea ceremony in Tokyo. It was fantastic but it was really hard to sit that way if you aren’t used to it.
Me too. Japan is a beautiful country with beautiful people and customs.
Beautiful demonstration of mindfulness.
I had the great honor of taking Tea with Joy on 3 or 4 occasions. She is a lovely, remarkable person
I've got a tingling sensation just below the back of my neck
I can't believe I've seen an actual Japanese Tea Ceremony . . . WITH SOUND!
It was really lovely
I’m here from the future, wondering if you’re exploring the weird world of ASMR.
I appreciate this video so much after wading through a bunch with narration -- or time jumps. I came for the ceremony, just that, and all of that. Thank you.
Was in Kamakura a couple of years ago and saw one ceremony live. It was so relaxing to watch. Love the attention to each movement.
Give me chills seeing the level perfection in everything the japanese do, even something as small as tea.
CommissarKane I love it. I love of the perfection in this country
Except the operation of nuclear reactors.
Gardner Berry wow. So quick and sharp
Nothing is ever small; everything has many, many processes behind it that made it. To take the time to honor something with a ceremony is to honor everything and everyone that made it possible.
or you could just make the tea in like 2 seconds.
Been watching this periodically for at least 11 years and the cloth snap still startles me every time.
You may use any of this video you want for educational purposes. Thank you for asking permission.

it's asmr
Yeah, after some research, I found it. It's an interesting feeling to say the least.
I have a Japanese boyfriend and I’m trying to learn more about his culture to make a good impression to his family! :)
@@fkkkkkenig The "M" apparently stands for "meridian". It's pseudoscientific gibberish lol
Nobody ever claimed it was real science. But it is a sensation that some people get that previously didn't have a name. Now it does.
When ever I feel stressed out I always come back to this video, love it to bits
I love the show of the elements and the power they give to the ceremony. The wind prayer was beautiful and I love the water blessing on both the cup and the earthen pot at the end.

This is the best example of the tea ceremony I've found on RUclips and the entire web. Well done!
This was the first video I watched regularly to relax. 💜
This is so relaxing to watch. Thank you for not spoiling it by playing background music.
An incredibly beautiful video. I'd love to learn this. It shows the beauty in every single step, each has a purpose and is done fully.

Who else came here after watching Samurai Jack make tea
I'm going to stop you
Jack's face is priceless
What a beautiful posting, on so very many levels. Thank you, lovely to see this in Colorado as well!
It is amazing how much more peaceful it is with the sound....Thanks for finding and posting
I know right??!!
Beautiful ceremony... every little thing is accomplished with such artful deliberateness, shows a lot of respect for a little cup of tea.

I have been looking for a good tea ceremony video for years. Finally, you made it happen for me. This is a great one. Magical!
I love the juxtaposition of the wild random wind sounds and precise ordered tea making sounds
Good thing this video comes WITH SOUND.
+KeystoneHeavy58 Gotta hear that snap of the cloth!
I just watched The Karate Kid II. I forgotten back in the 80s I wanted to actually see it done for real. thank you for the show
I googled "Tea Ceremony" expecting an ASMR paradise. This one delivered best. Well filmed, crisp but unobtrusive audio, and a relaxing delight. Thank You.
This video has been in my favorites playlist for the past 10 years!! Never fails to put me to sleep 💙
Many years later, and watching this is still my go-to relaxation method.
Mesmerised... she is an artist.
Well thank god we had sound for this. I would've had no clue what was going on without it.

l could watch this all day over and over and not be bored.

Watching this video I feel as you serve me with a cup of interior peace. I think this is the mean of the ceremony. So thank you very much for your kindness !
I'm glad we have people with such a keen ability to detect humor on this planet.
As long as my misses doesn't put the milk in with the Tea bag, I'm happy. This is next level brew making.
Quite possibly the best unintentional asmr video I have ever seen ♥️👏
I love the dedication and style. This is a first for me to witness this, I think it’s amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad we have such open-minded and tolerant people like you infesting this planet.
[Performing the Tea Ceremony]
[Makes mistake]

noticed the mistakes also eh?
I think you meant [sudoku].
lol sudoku
Of course, when one eliminates all mistakes there is no need to strive for...; and one must also consider that the ceremony would then be assimilated by the BORG! (Go back to the beginnings of the ceremony to see if mistakes were made, or was it something else?)
this comment made my day
It is very much so. I get so relaxed watching the movements.
Boss:, why were you two hours late today?
Me: because I made a cup of tea
The skill of complete composure only raises the ire of those who don't have it. For me, there is more grace and poise expressed here than in any ballet I ever saw.
Wa Dok
Brings so many memory's back.Thanks
It was so fascinating and beautiful to watch the process of how they make the tea :D
The best ceremony on RUclips
This is the closest you can get to a real tea ceremony without actually being there.
Well done.
Something so trivial as pouring hot water over green tea leafs had become the highest act of art.Through the ceremony and tea pottery like Raku and Hagi it beautifully echoes the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy of imperfect,impermanent and incomplete nature of our lives.lt teaches and reminds me to see the value and importance in things that would have otherwise passed by me unnoticed and taken for granted.
I know right??!!
so peaceful and beautiful
I really like the sound it's really soothing to listen to the tea drip.
Such beauty and artistry!
Thanks for asking Joy, I really appreciate it. If I ever get down your way (I live in Loveland) I would love to attend one of her tea ceremonies. I noted her website and will check it out.
The pure movements are very meditative.
I’m not the only one who watched Jack Samurai making a tea and later on this came out of no where right?
No
Monk: This is terrible.
Jack: Really?
Monk: Yes. Quite terrible. It has all the necessary ingredients, but lacks the most crucial one: balance. I see why the path to your sword is clouded.
this is an amazing video... i wonder it is possible to upload just the side view camera footage uncut?
Watched several times. Pick up something new almost each time.
Just beautiful to watch.
Incredibly beautiful and mindfull
This is dangerously hypnotic. MUST.BUY.GEISHA.
Totally agree. I watch this on my mobile while in bed to fall asleep almost every night
This is Japanese traditional way to give guests a warm welcome hospitality.
Her behavior looks so slow that it really gets on your nerves.
but when you come to Japan, try tea ceremonies.
You`ll be very impressed.
An absolutely beautiful video. Thank you.
The greenteapoint URL given in the video no longer seems to be a used domain.
Very beatiful, very well done, I wish only I could taste the tea
This was quite relaxing, I truly enjoyed it!
Beautiful ceremony
9 years on and this video still absolutely slaps
So precise. It was lovely to watch!
Sooo peaceful!!
Congrats on reaching over 100,000!
Why is this so calming? I almost fell asleep
Beautiful, almost trance-inducing. Thank you.
Beautiful, relaxing, and fascinating .
I really like this video. The movements are so nice and calming.
I know right??!!
This is a very interesting japanese tradition
I've been reading Musashi and I got really curious on how the tea ceremony is made. This was a beautiful video to watch.
Finally, another one
@wannafreeze
It is still very much practiced in Japan. Most college Campus have their own Tea House along with a Tea Club. I was over in Japan all last year actually and was able o train and practice enough with the Tea Club at my university in Kasugai that i was able to get my certification as an instructor and started a Japanese Tea Ceremony Club at Ohio Univ.
Its the best ceremony of tea in you tube, thanks for share it!
Great to watch, shame it didnt have the ceremony for drinking it correctly. surely there is some etiquette for drinking the tea which has been made?
+DeathJester1066 Yes. Please not the guest will have previously washed his hands and mouth before entering the room.
When offered the tea, the guest exchanges bows with the host. The bowl will be presented with a pattern facing the guest, who is to admire it, then rotate the bowl before drinking so that others may admire the decoration and to avoid touching it with the lips or the tea. If there is more than one guest, the first person to drink will take a sip, wipe the rim of the bowl, then pass it to the second person with the pattern facing the one who is to drink and the movements continue untill everyone has had a sip. The last one to drink returns the bowl to the host. Now the tea utensils can be respectfully admired, if so wished. Some can be antique or very beautiful. The guests then exit with a bow.
glimmer259: the item at 2:08 is called a futaoki (lid rest). The cold water container is called a mizusashi.
This is the ULTIMATE ASMR video...Im in heaven.
That better be one amazing cup of tea.
I wonder if the reason behind the elaborate ceremony was to demonstrate cleanliness back in the days of ancient Japan. If you watch the ceremony there are 3 parts: Cleaning the bowl and utensils before use, making the tea/drinking the tea, cleaning the bowl and utensils after use. It begins to make sense that there was a lot of form added to the function.
