\"\"Koh-oon Ryusui \u2014 The Zen Art of Living in the Moment<\/b><\/h1>\n

\ud83d\udc9a~~Hello from Waplus Nara, a tea ceremony and calligraphy experience in Nara, Japan!~~\ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n

As you walk toward our tea room, you may notice a beautiful calligraphy scroll displayed along the passageway.<\/p>\n

It reads:<\/p>\n

\u300c\u884c\u96f2\u6d41\u6c34\u300d<\/b>\u2028Koh-oon<\/b>\u00a0Ryusui<\/b><\/p>\n

This Zen phrase, was brushed by our founder and is displayed to welcomes to our guests as they make their way to the tea room.<\/p>\n

Koh-oon Ry\u016bsui<\/b> literally means \u201cdrifting clouds and\u00a0 flowing water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clouds move freely across the sky, while water flows naturally along its course.<\/p>\n

The phrase reminds us to live naturally, without resisting the flow of life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, we try too hard to control everything or worry about what lies ahead.
\nBut just as clouds drift and water flows, there are times when it is better to accept each moment as it comes and move forward naturally.<\/p>\n

In the world of tea, we treasure each encounter and each moment shared with our guests.<\/p>\n

As you walk through the passageway toward the tea room, we hope these words will invite you to slow down, take a deep breath, and leave the busyness of everyday life behind.<\/p>\n

May “\u2028Koh-oon<\/b> Ryusui”<\/b> accompany you as you enter the\u00a0 world of tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8488,"template":"","en_blog_cat":[18],"class_list":["post-8383","en_blog","type-en_blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","en_blog_cat-staffblog","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/en_blog\/8383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/en_blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/en_blog"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"en_blog_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/nara\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/en_blog_cat?post=8383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
