Tea creates a dialogue between people. When you want to have a conversation with someone, it is customary to ask them to go for tea, but tea encourages conversation between people and deepens bonds. We Japanese are aware of this.
Let us once again focus on tea and remember the richness of daily life based on dialogue, not conflict. In Japan, a room for gathering has long been called a "chanoma." People and families can converse in a space with tea, and we can remember the richness of the heart that comes from drinking tea and talking.
Through something as familiar as tea, we hope to provide an opportunity to think about the desire for peace within ourselves and about the nature of communication in modern times, where human relationships are becoming increasingly tenuous.
Fukujuen, a long-established tea shop in Kyoto that co-developed the well-known Suntory Iyemon, will explain the history and value of tea.Kyoto experienceUji teatea roomLINK KYOTOhistorytraditional cultureSDGs

Gion Kobu in Kyoto has a history of several hundred years. The special existence of "geisha" and "maiko" is made up of the best of Kyoto's various traditional crafts and performing arts. Preserving the unchanged geisha culture since ancient times leads to the passing on of precious traditional techniques.
Geiko and maiko are communication professionals, and their beauty comes not only from their appearance but also from within.
Experience the carefully handed down craftsmanship of the masters and the spirituality of the geisha and maiko who cherish every single gesture and courtesy, and experience the essence of the Japanese culture that Kyoto is so proud of around the world.Flower Street CultureInoue SchoolEtiquettewordingmaikogeishaLINK KYOTOhistoryHospitalityKyoto culturetraditional culture
