We call the Japanese tea ceremony “Sado”. Sado is the Japanese traditional art of serving tea and entertaining guests. Japanese tea ceremonies were perfected by Sen-no-Rikyu, a pioneer in Japan in the 16th century. The spirit of Sado is based on Zen philosophy. The spirit of “wabi-sabi” is valued at the tea ceremony. Wabi means “Something simple” and in Sado, it means “Beauty from simplicity"
