Jananese Tea-Drinkinu.


Tea is associated in the Japanese
mind with the cult which has grown
M in connection with tea servings AS
to the origin of the tea ceremony, or
Cha-no-yu, as it is called in the native
language, there are two theories. One
of them is that in the early times the
Buddhist priests drank tea in order to
keep awake during the night service,
and that from this habit the drinking
Of tea became closely connected with
silent meditation and thereby elevated
to a canon OF ceremony. Another
hypothesis attempts TO explain the or
igin of the cult, not in religious but in
psychological terms. 1t states that
The original seed OF the tea brought
from China was planted in the various
provinces of Japan and produced
SLIGHTLY different varieties of tea. Now
the court mobiles, from their character
istic fondness for dilcttantiSm, started
the gentle amusement of competing in
their ability to discriminate the differ
ent varieties of tea and in tracing
their origin. The practice thereafter
developed into an elaborate system
of etiquette Fast and West News.
