		<description>@Evelyn Lim: yes indeed, it is a hypnotic and highly relaxing process. Akiko told me that they putting tea ceremony on the same level as guided meditation, and I can confirm the effects of it. Thanks for stopping by :-)</description>

		<description>Thanks for describing a beautiful tea ceremony here.  There is so much art involved in the ritual.  I like how you describe it to be hypnotic and meditative.

		<description>@Jonathan as many other Japanese icons, such ikebanas and geishas, bonsais are something very rare to see in the real Japan. They might be a very good export merchandise but I haven&#039;t seen much exposed, apart from some flower shops which seemed to actually sell them.</description>

		<description>The simplicity of Japanese architecture and design is so appealing. I can&#039;t help  searching these pictures for some Bonsai trees though.

		<description>@BunnygotBlog re-reading it makes me want to be there again :-) I&#039;m glad others can find it enjoyable even as a merely description. If you have the chance to participate in a tea ceremony, I highly encourage you to do it.</description>

Thank you for sharing this unique ceremony  :)
The photos are fabulous.
