Japanese tea and tea culture originated in China. The introduction of tea into Japan can be traced back to the thirteenth year of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, tea trees from China were brought back to Japan by a Japanese monk, and tea drinks took root in Japan, where tea cultivation began.

Father of Japanese Tea Ceremony, Zen Master Rong Xi

? In the early days of Kamakura, Zen Master Rong, who was later called "the ancestor of Japanese tea" in Japan, learned the processing method of tea from China, and brought high-quality tea seeds and tea sets back to Japan to sow in the back vibration mountain of Kyushu. At that time, the tea planted by Master Rong Zen was called Stone Tea. 12 1 1 year, he wrote the first Japanese tea-drinking monograph, Eating Tea for Health, which had an important influence on Japanese tea ceremony. This book introduces the method of making tea in China in the late Song Dynasty.

Tea is one of the specialties representing Shizuoka. Ming teas produced in warm Shizuoka Prefecture, such as fried tea, green tea and Youlu tea, are famous for their mellow taste, intoxicating fragrance and excellent quality. In order to protect and publicize the cultural heritage of tea, Shizuoka established the Tea Museum on 20 17 to display its long-standing tea culture, popularize tea knowledge and carry out academic exchange activities on tea culture. The Shizuoka Tea Museum in Japan has not only dynamic exhibitions such as tea tasting counters, personal experience exhibitions and tea drinking habits exhibitions, but also static exhibitions including tea art, tea sets, tea customs, tea ceremony, tea trees, ancient tea houses and celebrities. Detailed historical introduction and colorful display forms provide an excellent environment for society to learn tea culture, promote the sustainable development of tourist areas, and have far-reaching significance for protecting, inheriting and carrying forward traditional tea culture.
