The Way of Tea
Japan's vibrant Chanoyu tea culture offers spiritual reflection
and artistic inspiration through the medium of powdered green
tea. This time-honored living art brings a fresh paradigm for
thoughtful and harmonious living.
The Way of Tea has been transmitted since the 17th century in
adherence with the principles of harmony, respect, purity and
tranquility set forth by the 16th century tea master Sen no Rikyu.
Accordingly, a tea gathering unites host and guest, house and
garden, calligraphy and flowers, ceramics and lacquer ware,
incense and cuisine in seamless tranquility. The Way of Tea
refreshes the spirit when all the elements are mindfully prepared
and received.
Since 1981 the East-West Chanoyu Center (formerly Urasenke
Seattle Branch) has served the broader community in the
appreciation and study of the Way of Tea.
The Center offers classes and events for continuous study
of Japanese traditional living arts as a means of self-cultivation
and actualization. All are welcome to savor Japan's way of tea.
