Japanese tea ceremonies
“Chadougu” is a collective term for all items used for Japanese tea ceremonies.
“Sadou”, or “chadou”, is a tradition of serving tea to a guest, an enhanced spiritual culture and sensuousness. But it doesn’t simply mean making tea and drinking it. It covers a broad range of composite art such as crafts, poetry, calligraphic works and paintings, ikebana, architecture for tea-ceremony rooms or landscaping, tea ceremony dishes and desserts, Zen Buddhism, religion, tea-ceremony items or art objects you place in tea-ceremony rooms, and so forth.
The instruments used for tea ceremony, the rituals for serving and drinking Japanese tea, contain a great variety of things that were created in an ancient period up to modern items. But no matter in which period, the “chadougu” were chosen from high level arts and crafts items of that time, and even today these traditions are being preserved.
The characteristics for “chadougu” lie in the meaning of the tea ceremonies and their combination with other instruments, or the desired use best suited for example the different seasons of the year.
