One of the main programs of "Traditional WA Impressive from Tokyo", which conveys the appeal of traditional Japanese culture both domestically and internationally, is to introduce the culture of tea and the culture of Edo and Tokyo that has nurtured it.

On the day, Omotesenke, Urasenke, and Yuuraku were taking turns.

The tea ceremony is a comprehensive art that pursues the ultimate beauty of scenery, tools, manners, etc., and is said to have a spirit of "motivation" at the root of a unique philosophy.

Under the autumn sky, it was a time to get a glimpse into a part of the deep tea ceremony world.
