Chado, known as the Japanese tea ceremony, involves more than just drinking matcha tea. The tea room is a space where you can experience mindfulness.

Through the practice of Chado, one can master not only good manners and a beautiful deportment but also cultivate self-esteem and a sense of inner peace.

This self-learning video course is for people who would like to study the basics of chado in a short period of time. Also, the instructor demonstrates the section of the main ceremony so that you can experience what it is like to be a guest during the ceremony.
