JAPANESE TEA BOWL
Chawan
Drinking of green tea was known in China from the fourth century.
Tea plants didn’t grow in Japan until the first seeds were brought from China during the Tang dynasty (China 618-907), when relations and cultural exchanges between the two countries reached a peak.
During the Nara period (Japan 710-794) tea plants were grown in Japan and mainly consumed by priests and noblemen as medicine.
• In 1187 Myoan Eisai, a Japanese priest, traveled to China to study philosophy and religion. When he came back, he became the founder of Zen Buddhism and build the first temple of the Rinzai sect.
• It is said that he was the first one to cultivate tea for religious purposes, unlike others before him who grew tea for medicinal use only.
