Day 126 : Sado
In Japanese, "Do" means a road.
"Kyudo" means "Bow's road", a road to master Japanese archery.
Sometimes we say "Sumodo", a road to master Sumo.
Sado is a road to master tea ceremony.
In the past, I introduced my friend who is crazy about tea, who is not only looking at Japanese ceremony but many other types of tea.
I have never tried the tea ceremony, and that is not unusual for ordinary Japanese, if I may say.
But, as a Japanese, I think that I should experience it once, since some of the tourists from the other countries try in these places.
The places offer the oracular ceremonies to the more casual ones. Well, I need to check in one of these.
Word of the day:
oracular : 厳かな
Quote of the day:
“The tea ceremony requires years of training and practice ... yet the whole of this art, as to its detail, signifies no more than the making and serving of a cup of tea. The supremely important matter is that the act be performed in the most perfect, most polite, most graceful, most charming manner possible.”
― Lafcadio Hearn, Lafcadio Hearn's Japan: An Anthology of his Writings on the Country and Its People
