๐ In Japan, Saidaiji Temple in Nara City, a unique tea ceremony called ๐ข-๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ (ๅคง่ถ็) is held every January.
๐ Participants drink tea from giant bowls measuring 40 cm in diameter and weighing over 5 kg, with others helping to hold the bowls while drinking.
๐ This tradition began in the 13th century, when Shien Shonin, inspired by snowy scenery, brewed tea and shared it with locals, promoting community spirit.
๐ The ceremony symbolizes gratitude and harmony, with tea offered to deities and shared among attendees to reflect unity and goodwill.
๐ Though less formal than the traditional tea ceremony (chanoyu), the O-Chamori Ceremony remains a cherished cultural event.
