The spirit of chanoyu, perfected by Sen no Rikyu, has been handed down through generations at Omotesenke Fushin-an for over 400 years. The tradition being inherited is not just about the form; it is a dynamic cultural legacy constantly infused with the spirit of the era by each generation.  Omotesenke, being the main line that carries on the tradition of Rikyu’s chanoyu, authentically preserves that tradition and seeks to pass down to the future generations the beauty and spirit of Japan through constant pursuit of chanoyu​

​

Omotesenke Domonkai is the association of the practitioners of chanoyu following the traditions of Omotesenke Fushin-an. It promotes the chanoyu culture so members can deepen their understanding and techniques, Omotesenke Domonkai today has total of 57 chapters in Japan and overseas with over sixteen thousand members, of whom more than fifteen hundred live outside Japan, 

At its most basic level, the Japanese tea ceremony is about gathering with friends to enjoy a bowl of tea.  Participants enjoy pleasant conversation about seasonal beauty and art objects displayed in the Japanese tea house.  They might comment on the freshness of the tea garden or the attractiveness of a particular Japanese tea cup.  And of course they will all enjoy drinking the matcha green tea prepared by their host.  In Japan, however, the tea ceremony - also known as chanoyu - is much more than a simple tea party.  It is an aesthetic, almost spiritual, experience.  Tea gatherings are held in exquisite tea houses or Japanese homes that are surrounded by beautiful gardens.  

I hope we can enjoy the tranquility, purity and harmony of tea ceremony together.
