Geisha Tea Ceremony

Rhona's April UFO.Geisha Tea Ceremony

The origin of the Japanese tea ceremony came from China in the 8th century as an aid in alertness during meditation for Buddhist monks. Through the tea master Sen no Rikyu in the 16th century, it developed more detailed guidelines and spread to all levels of cultured society. It became an art form that both men and women participated in for formal guests or performances. It also became one of the geisha arts, in addition to dance, music, flower arrangement, and calligraphy.
