Out-of-Door-Tea

 

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Tea service is a solemn rite, time-honored and royal. It is the test of elegance, of quiet dignity and repose. Gentle courtesy and exquisitely compliment are implied in the decorum of the elaborate tea service, which was amplified and emphasized by the old emperors. Incidentally, drinking is no silent art among the Japanese, and noisy swallowing is perfectly consistent with propriety."
