Chotoku-ji Temple is the birthplace of Yamada Sohen, the founder of the Sohen School of Tea Ceremony in the early Edo period. Located west of the Imperial Palace in a quiet residential area, Chotoku-ji Temple, a Shinshu Otani school temple, is a place where you can experience tranquil moments experienced with all five senses. As a monk, Yamada Sohen cultivated Buddhist spirituality and aesthetic sensibilities early on at his birthplace, Chotoku-ji Temple. He later entered the world of tea ceremony, embracing the spirit of Rikyu while pursuing a more introspective and spiritual style of "wabicha." This unconventional approach, which emphasizes the ambiance of the venue and the feelings of the guests, remains a hallmark of the Sohen School and continues to this day. Experience Muromachi tea and incense at Chotoku-ji Temple. Participate in tea contests, where participants listen to (taste) and distinguish the names of famous teas from the past, and horse-racing incense races, where participants listen to (smell) and compare aromas. If they match, they'll move their horses forward like in a game of backgammon. Experience a digest of old games using tea and incense used by the nobility, along with the spirit and etiquette that resides in them, and after a 150-minute experience of diving into Muromachi culture, you will experience an extraordinary experience in a tranquil space, where you will be able to harmonize both your body and mind with a short time of copying sutras or Zen meditation and a sermon by the head priest.
