Ichigo-Ichie

I'm a Japanese woman living in Nara. This blog tells you how to be a "YAMATONADESHIKO". "Yamatonadeshiko" means an ideal Japanese lady who is intelligent, sophisticated and thoughtful. I learn Sado-Japanese traditional tea celemony and Ikebana-Japanese traditional flower arrangement. I introduce about Japan through my experiences. So you can get to know more about Japanese culture such as Sado,Ikebana, customs and seasonal events, especially the ones in Nara.

Sado tips

Today, I had a Sado lesson.
My lesson were "Wakin" and "Gyou", it was just as I had expected.

"Wakin" is for when we serve for the Emperor of Japan.
When we do this tea celemony, we use old cloth called "Wakin".

"Gyo" is the secret tea celemony, and it's for when we use very old tea pot called "Meibutsu-Chaire".
The old small tea pot called "Meibutsu" is one of the antique collections from Han;old china of Nobuyoshi and Nobunaga and so on in the days of Rikyu.
