Cha-no-yu (Teaism)

One of the signature elements of traditional Japanese culture is cha-no-yu: the way of tea. It is a formal ritual of hospitality in which you make and serve matcha (powdered green tea) for your guests - but it is much more than just that. Over the centuries, cha-no-yu has evolved into nothing less than a philosophy and a lifestyle. Many design ideas birthed from the tea ceremony have exerted a profound influence on today's designers and artists. This time, with tea master Soshin Kimura as our guest, we revisit previous episodes of DESIGN TALKS plus connected to the tea ceremony to explore cha-no-yu design.
