Description:

The art performance by Japanese contemporary artist, Ken Hamazaki. This performance was inspired by and arranged from the Japanese traditional tea ceremony. I named myself Hechi-Ken after the legendary master of tea ceremony, Hechi-Kan. The original ceremony consists of a variety of manners to drink, but to experience this fully, please simply drink with a style you favor most. The most interesting practice would be turning your thought toward him for a few minutes without speaking and enjoy drinking in this small silent space. I always serve this tea for whoever sits down in front of me. Red Tea Ceremony -YOU ARE GOD- is always a great tool to communicate universally without any thought of hierarchy. I'll be happy if we could find any great idea to make better and more enjoyable future throughout this tea ceremony.
