The tea ceremony aesthetic—"tea taste"—has shaped much of Japan’s art over the past several centuries. Elegant yet quirky, delighting in contrasts between the ultra-refined and the appealingly rustic, tea taste is uniquely Japanese.

  • Tea Ceramics
  • "Tea Taste" and Japanese Art

Lecturer: Frank L. Chance, Associate Director, Center for East Asian Studies, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
