Re-creation of Tang Dynasty tea ceremony by an expert from Kyoto,Jun.25
A re-creation of tea ceremony from the Tang Dynasty(618-900 AD) will be
Cinducted by Chinese culture expert Mr. Kouhou TANAHASHI of Kyoto, on
Sunday, June 25 at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at New Otani Hotel in Little Tokyo.
English translation will be provided.
Tanahashi will demonstrate the tea ceremony of the Tang dynasty when
Chinese tea ceremony originated. The demonstration will use tea Tanahashi
produced from methods of that era along with his reproduction of original
utensils.
His lecture will also include historical background about China and how
people enjoyed tea in Tang period.
In 1987, Chinese archeologists unearthed approximately 900 valuable cul-
tural icons of the Chinese Court from Famen-si Temple, including Buddha’s
ashes and gold and silver utensils. The tea utensils were dedicated at Famen-
si Tmple in 873.
Famen-si Temple, located near Xian City in Shaanxi Province, was originally
Constructed during the Eastern Han Dynasty(22-220 AD).It became the prayer
temple of successive emperors and led a wave of prosperity. It was destroyed
and rebuilt multiple times.
The excavated tea utensils were used at the court and provided the key to
proving the origins of the Lu Yu tea ceremony of the Tang dynasty.
Tanahashi, who established the International Certification of Culture of Chinese
Tea and the Organization of Chinese Tea Ceremony, has given lectures and
demonstrations across Japan. June 25 event is his first lecture and demonstra-
tion outside of Japan.
“Much mystery remains regarding the art of Tang Dynasty tea ceremony. But
I hope that more people will be able to learn more about and come to appreciate
Chinese tea ceremony, “ Tanahashi said. “I think Japanese tea ceremony may
have its roots in Chinese tea ceremony.”
Tickets are $30. For further information, call Okumura at(323)728-1990 or
Kichimi at(818)547-1122.
