This is an unabridged recording of Japanese Tea Ceremony. There are many schools of tea that teach The Way of Tea, Chado or Chanoyu in Japanese. In this video I'm showing the ritual performed in accordance with Urasenke teaching.
Irekodate is the serving of thin tea without displaying the tea container and scoop. The procedure limits the length and the number of times the host has to stand up and sit down.

Hishaku
I hang the hishaku inside the mouth with this kama. Since I'm using an eletric ro I can't adjust the hight of the kama, and I think it becomes to high if I rest it on the kama shoulder. It is also hard with this type of kama to say what placement is correct. since it isn't a proper uba-guchi, nor does it have a proper lip that goes up.

This is NOT an official movie by Urasenke and has been created independent of Urasenke.
