Welcome back!
In anticipation of its National Foundation Day (建国記念の日), we've planned a celebration of the cultural wonders Japan has given to the world!
We begin with a perfect pastime for those who have a taste for the quiet and soulful...
TEA CEREMONY 茶席、茶道
- A tea ceremony is a formal occasion where “matcha” tea is prepared and served to guests in a fixed and traditional way.
Tea ceremony is also the art of preparing and serving tea in this way.
Be Careful! When used to mean a formal occasion, the expression tea ceremony is countable. When talking about the art of tea ceremony, however, the expression is uncountable. - tea ceremony は、伝統的な作法で抹茶をたてて客に供する正式な場、つまり、茶席のことです。
tea ceremony は、客に抹茶を供する伝統的な作法、つまり、茶道という意味もあります。
注意:「茶席」という意味のときは数えられる名詞、「茶道」という意味のときは数えられない名詞として扱われます。

My mother is coming to visit me next month. She says she'd like to see Mount Fuji and attend a tea ceremony while she's here. - I love the little sweets they serve at tea ceremonies. Where can I buy some?
- I was a member of the tea ceremony club in college.
- My father took up tea ceremony after he retired.
Why not take it slow today?
