Learning outcomes:

The students will be able to present, using the vocabulary of this field, various detailed issues of the Japanese Way of Tea, its history, aesthetics and philosophy. They will also experience tea in its traditional environment practicing on tatami mats, which enables them to become more familiar with Japanese traditional space. They can act according to the guests' etiquette during a tea gathering, it is easier for them to enter Japanese culture environments and they do so with deeper awareness. The necessity to learn from their older more experienced colleagues develops the ability of cooperation and communication. Class calls for particular concentration and physical and mental effort, therefore it hardens the spirit. The nature of the Way of Tea also awakens openness towards the other, empathy, mutual understanding and the notion of mutual ties.

After the course the student:

Knowledge:

[K_W08] has detailed and organized knowledge of art and aesthetics of Japan (regarding issues mentioned in the course);

Competences:

[K_K05] is aware of the cultural diversity, its religious, philosophical, custom, historical origins, and its significance for the contemporary world (on the graduate program student level, as far as the Japanese art of tea is concerned);
