Bringing tradition to foreigners and young people via popular culture is the only way tea ceremony will survive and stay strong forever. Thank you for this video!
LOVE IT! Is there any way you can share the 3-D printer pattern for the natsume? I have studied tea for over 20 years in both Japan and America. I found it quite entertaining, although different. I'd love to see the text that was being projected, as I believe it alluded to the idea that many tea students are so focused on the rules of doing things that they miss the essence of tea. The rapper complimented what was happening (loved when you were whisking the tea) and I think you brought into it and enjoyment factor that might attract folks to take a deeper look.
Dear friend, may I ask why such an activity as this brings you sadness? Its interesting that you did not state why. leaving it up to my imagination, I can only think of the usual things that people tend to say when a shift is made and or when something traditional interacts with a new element. But I will not elaborate for I have no clue if this will add to your sadness. I can tell you that it that Beat boxing with 'The way of Tea.' or the Tea Ceremony has brought many people joy.Needles to mention there are now more people interested in participating in the Tea Ceremony both in New York and in Japan. Ironically, many of these people are Japanese.

sorry, i'm sure you had good intentions with this presentation, but this video made me sad.
