Each country has its own traditional culture. They show how people share and pass their customs to the new generation. However, not all people follow their traditions. To keep the traditional culture alive, the present generation should recognize their local traditions as a necessary part of their life.
Japan is one of the countries that are known for keeping up their traditional customs. One of the interesting parts of Japanese culture is the Japanese tea ceremony. It is a creative way of preparing and serving Japanese green tea. The tea ceremony is usually done by the person in charge at home by skillfully preparing a cup of tea. The person in charge considers the main guests’ actions and even the position of their teacups. The main point of the Japanese tea ceremony is to create a relaxed mood and to improve communication between the person in charge and the guests.
