Sen no Rikyu

Welcome!

This page is dedicated to the Way of Tea, a 500-year old tradition that started in China, but gradually moved to Japan and rooted there. Urasenke school is one of the three main schools of Japan that practices a tradition of tea making as it was created by the great tea master Sen no Rikyu.

Once Rikyu said:

Tea is nought but this:
First you heat the water,

Then you make the tea.

Then you drink it properly.

That is all you need to know.

Only the true practitioner of Tea knows how deeply profound thought that expresses utmost sincere heart and purity in serving the other lies within theses words.

Welcome to the world of Tea!
