What Can Be Gained from the Way of Tea
When children spread their wings and thrive globally, the first thing they should acquire is Japanese culture. The Way of Tea can be said to be the optimal program for learning about Japanese culture from various perspectives.
Children naturally experience seasonal arrangements, beautiful utensils, polite manners, and gratitude through the series of steps in the Way of Tea.
We believe that by making Japanese sensibility a backbone through the Way of Tea in early childhood, it leads to a rich heart that can respect other cultures and traditions.
Furthermore, beyond the physical practice of tea ceremony, calming the mind is a unique experience offered by the Way of Tea. We believe that the "mental space" created by calming the mind will become a vital force for children in an era where the pace of things is accelerating.
