茶道具
“茶道具” refers to the various tools and utensils used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, known as 茶道 (sadō). These items include the 茶碗 (tea bowl), 茶筅 (bamboo whisk), and 茶杓 (tea scoop), each serving a specific purpose in the preparation and serving of matcha, a powdered green tea. The careful selection and arrangement of these tools reflect the principles of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
The design and craftsmanship of tea utensils often emphasize simplicity and natural beauty, aligning with the aesthetic values of 日本文化 (Japanese culture). Many of these tools are made from materials like clay, bamboo, and wood, showcasing the artisan's skill. Collectively, they contribute to the overall experience of the tea ceremony, which is not just about drinking tea but also about mindfulness and appreciation of the moment.
