Gesture and Sound (Tea Culture in Japan)

A cup of tea brewed in the mellow water of an iron kettle is a blissful experience.
There are many ways to answer the question, "What is the tea ceremony?" There are many ways to answer the question of what the tea ceremony is: the tea ceremony as culture, the tea ceremony as art, the tea ceremony as etiquette, and the tea ceremony as fun.
Japanese tea party is a social and societal activity that brings people together, and I would like to focus on the gesture of hospitality that is expressed in the spirit of once in the lifetime (Treasure every encounter as it may not come again) meetings.
Beautiful gestures are accompanied by beautiful sounds.
"Wabi-sabi" which symbolizes Japanese culture, is based on a spiritual concept, and it seems to me that a sense of beauty is derived by sharing "sensitivity and emotion" with the guest to face the present moment.
"Wabi-sabi" are words to appreciate Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, which represents “beauty within simplicity and imperfection.”
It is a story of sensitivity that cannot be seen unless one tries to see it, and cannot be received unless one tries to receive it.
Perhaps this is the wisdom of our ancestors, who nurtured a sense of richness by watching the gestures, listening to the sounds and feeling the sequence of events unfolding in the silence.

所作と音
茶道とは何かという問いに答えるには、多くの方法がある。文化としての茶道、芸術としての茶道、礼儀作法としての茶道、遊びとしての茶道などである。
茶会は人々が集まって行う社会的・社交的な行為であり、一期一会の精神から表現される「おもてなし」の所作に注目したい。
そして、美しい所作には、美しい音が存在する。
日本文化を象徴する「わびさび」は、精神的な概念の上に成り立っており、今この瞬間と向き合うための「感性と情緒」を客人と共有することで美意識を導き出しているように思う。
それは、見ようとしなければ見えないもので、受け取ろうとしなければ受け取れない感受性の話。
所作を見、音を聞き、静寂の中で繰り広げられる一連の流れを感じることで豊かさを育む、先人たちの知恵なのかもしれない。
