In tea ceremony etiquette, the right hand is basically treated as the dominant hand.
Almost all movements are designed around the right hand, such as turning the tea bowl, using the tea whisk and picking up confectionery.



The reason for this is that the structure of the tea room is designed primarily on the right hand side, both from an aesthetic and practical point of view.
For example, the entrance to the tea room, the overflow door, is usually placed on the right hand side of the room, as seen from the teahouse owner.
This means that when a guest enters the room, the owner naturally welcomes the guest with his or her right hand.
In other words, the right hand movement is considered to look beautiful.



The action of turning the tea bowl is also calculated to look most beautiful when done with the right hand. By holding the tea bowl with the right hand and turning it while supporting it with the left hand, the front of the bowl can be turned towards the guest. This is a form of hospitality, showing the most beautiful part of the tea bowl to the guest.
It is against this background that left-handed people often need special practice. For those who are used to working with their left hand, gestures that are mainly performed with the right hand may seem difficult at first.



Finally, the tea ceremony is also an excellent tool for self-development. Through the practice of the tea ceremony, patience, concentration and attention to detail are developed. These skills can be applied to all aspects of life, including work and study.
Thus, learning the tea ceremony is an effective means of enriching your life, both physically and mentally. It is more than just a hobby; it is the power to create a better you and a better life. Through the study of the tea ceremony, you will be able to experience the deep philosophy and aesthetics contained in a cup of tea and enrich your daily life.
