Educational travel Inquiry program
[Experience Course] Fukujuen Tea and the Happiness of Everyday Life
Tea creates dialogue between people. When you want to have a conversation with someone, it is customary to invite them to have tea, but tea encourages conversation between people and deepens bonds. We Japanese are aware of this. Now, let's focus on tea once again and remember the richness of daily life through dialogue, not conflict. In Japan, a room where people gather together has long been called a "cha-no-ma." We will remind people of the richness of the heart that comes from talking to each other and drinking tea in a space where tea is present. Through something as familiar as tea, we will create an opportunity to think about the feelings of peace in our own hearts and the nature of communication in modern times, where human relationships are becoming weaker. Fukujuen, a long-established tea shop in Kyoto that co-developed the well-known Suntory [Iyemon], will explain the history and value of tea.SDGs area of this content
