What is the Tea Ceremony? ~ Did You KNOW?

# data[].attributes.body
The Japanese tea ceremony is known as Chanoyu, Sado or simply Ocha in Japanese. It is a ritual of preparing and serving Japanese green tea, called Matcha. The green tea is served with traditional Japanese sweets to balance with the bitter taste of the tea. Preparing tea in this ceremony means pouring all one's attention into the predefined movements. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart. The host of the ceremony always considers the guests with every movement and gesture. Even the placement of the tea utensils is considered from the guests view point (angle), especially the main guests called the Shokyaku.

different classes = different style depending on what they did and there wealth.

In the edo period wealth meant that they could not use their wealth to improve their social status. Instead they had to find different outlets for their money, such as buying beautiful clothes.

Fashion was very important during this time because it distinguished wealth and class, Those who were wearing rich silk clothing with detailed patterns were usually in a higher class and those who wore the baggy scruff clothing usually were in a lower class, such as peasants. So clothing helped to distinguish the different types of groups.

EXTRA: Samurai- fashion to a Samurai was very important, they would usually only wear kimonos and even dedicated a day of the year for when they would swap the winter kimonos for their summer kimonos.
