Suffice to say, that CHANOYU QUARTERLY contains a myriad of essays on all things elegant in Japanese art and culture which, relates to the appreciation of Japanese art forms. . Urasenke Konnichian of Kyoto, Japan is one of three major establishments that have preserved and furthered the rich cultural tradition known as Chanoyu, or the Way of Tea. Indeed, the first generation of Urasenke, Sen Rikyu [1522-1591], was a seminal figure in the transition of the Way of Tea from a medieval practice to its modern form. The principles of Chanoyu that Rikyu enumerated "Wa" [peace], "Kei" [respect], "Sei" [purity], "Jaku" [tranquility], have remained the foundation of this cultural form for over four hundred years. . The Urasenke Foundation was established in May of 1949, by the fourteenth generation master Tantansai. Thus began an unprecedented commitment to advancement of the Way of Tea, sparked by the realization that although the Way of Tea is a distinctly Japanese cultural form, its basis is a set of values and concepts that could be followed by anyone, regardless of nationality. . In 1964, Tantansai's son Hounsai Genshitsu succeeded to leadership of the Urasenke Tradition. His experiences as a student overseas and his friendships with many non-Japanese convinced him of the validity of his father's ideas. Under his guidance, the Urasenke Foundation has made great strides, especially in the international sponsorship of the "Way of Tea." . *** THE JOURNAL: The journal has been the voice & illustrated picture of the organization and contains many fine articles by leading exponents of the arts, Tea & Zen masters, truly a calming and magnificent resource. .
