Tea Ceremony

Chado, the "Way of tea," is Japanese tea ceremony. At Korinji we practice tea of the Edosenke school, founded by Kawakami Fuhaku (1716–1807).

Edosenke is classed as buke-cha, the "tea of warrior households."  As a style of tea ceremony connected to the samurai, it can be said to stress human relationship over ornate form, and the integration of tea into one's busy life as a source of peacefulness and spiritual fulfillment. The main emphasis in Edosenke is the heart-connection between people sharing a bowl of tea together.
