What you'll learn

  1. Wabi-Sabi and Tea Aesthetics. Think of a favorite old mug with a chip in the rim. You probably like it more than a flawless new one, because it carries a history.
  2. Kata, Ryū, and School Traditions. Think of a family recipe passed down through generations. The dish stays recognizable because everyone follows the same basic steps, yet each cook adds small habits of their own.
