CHADO (The Way of Tea)
There is in Japan
a spiritual practice,
often incorrectly called
« tea ceremony »
that has always fascinated those
who had the opportunity to follow it.
It is indeed :
an initiation into the heart of the Japanese
culture of which it sums up most
of the artistic and spiritual « ways »
a « zen manifesto » :
meditation in the most daily action
an art of hospitality more elaborate
than in any other civilization.
