TRAVEL CYCLE : Participate in the Omotesenke Tea Ceremony at the House of Japan

CultureSecrets and the Louis Vuitton City Guide offer you a trip around the world in Paris over the course of the seasons, a discovery of arts and cultures through museums and great institutions. Today, let's go to Tokyo, with an initiation to the ancestral secret of the Tea Ceremony at the House of Japan... During this ceremony, you will experience several steps: the entrance in the tea pavilion, an introduction to the way of tea, and the tasting of Japanese cake and tea powder. Discover this very codified Japanese ritual, and spend a serene moment in a Japanese atmosphere...

If tea is for some a simple hot drink, it is for others the occasion of a philosophical and spiritual reflection. Learn more during this ceremony that follows the codes of Omotesenke, one of the major schools of tea tradition in Japan.
