Japanese Culture

This is my tea ceremony class in Japan. The lady with gray clothes is the teacher. Her manner is おもてせんけstyle. せんis from せんのりきゅう(the founder of tea ceremony)けis family, おもてis front side. There is another style called うらせんけ. うら is back side. One of Rikyu's sons created Omotesenke, another son created Urasenke, the third son moved Tokyo (used to called えど)from Ktoto and named his style えどせんけ. These are the most famous three tea families.
