between Japan and  late Ming dynasty (\u660e\u671d, 1368-1636\/1644) and early Qing dynasty (\u6e05\u671d, 1636\/1644-1912) China during the early Edo period (\u6c5f\u6238\u6642\u4ee3, 1600-1868). There is a common misunderstanding that during the feudal rule of the Tokugawa, there was a complete seclusion of the country, which is not one hundred percent true. This policy is known as <em>sakoku <\/em>(\u9396\u56fd, policy of national seclusion). Interestingly, the term<em> sakoku<\/em> wasn\u2019t used during the Edo period Japan, but rather created afterwards. Nevertheless, it is a fact, that there were strict regulations &#8211; diplomatic contacts were restricted and for Japanese it was prohibited to leave the country, which also meant that no Japanese trade ships were allowed. As mentioned above, it is not true that Japan was completely secluded from the rest of the world. <em>Exceptions were of the kingdom of Ry\u016bky\u016b (today: Okinawa prefecture) which had contacts to Satsuma (today: prefecture) and Korea, which had contact to Tsushima. As for European countries, the Dutch with their East Indian Company (VOC) were the only Europeans accepted to Japan after 1639, since they promised not to conduct the Christian mission. However, no foreigners were allowed in the country, therefore they had to stay on a man-made island in Nagasaki, called dejima (\u51fa\u5cf6). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there was also trade with the Chinese, who were less restricted than the Dutch. The Japanese embraced Chinese arts and philosophy during the first half of the Edo period. Furthermore, Confucian philosophy built the foundation of the Tokugawa government. Therefore, despite of the limitations by the Tokugawa rule, Chinese in Japan were not only able to perceive their culture, they were also able to share their culture and knowledge with the Japanese. In Nagasaki, the old settlements of Chinese merchants still exist (<em>and now are a famous sightseeing spot<\/em>), but also Manpuku-ji proves the fact of how Chinese culture was embraced during that period.  That stance toward Chinese culture was the main reason why also Chinese tea culture was also able to spread even though it has strong concurrence by the already established <em>chanoyu<\/em> (Japanese tea ceremony). In fact, Manpuku-ji became the starting point of <em>sencha  <\/em>and <em>senchad\u014d <\/em>in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The spread of sencha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another key person to <em>sencha  in\u00a0<\/em>connection to Manpuku-ji, a young monk, who, in his later years, was known as <strong>the old tea seller, K\u014d Y\u016bgai Baisa\u014d<\/strong> (\u9ad8\u904a\u5916\u58f2\u8336\u7fc1). Baisa\u014d lived an ascetic life even though he turned his back to Buddhism. And  while wandering around Ky\u014dto area, he was offering tea to people passing by, whether they gave him donations or not. This was his view of the true spirit of tea and it also had the side effect that it spread the popularity of <em>sencha<\/em>. In order to avoid misunderstandings, I have to add that <em>sencha <\/em>during that time was still not the same as we know it today. The tea making process was not the same, and the tea leaves were simmered inside the hot water, which had an impact on its quality. (And among common people, it also happened that all kinds of ingredients were added to the tea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-754x566.jpg 754w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0030b-377x283.jpg 377w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The symbol of the All Japan Senchad\u014d Association at Manpukuj-ji<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The relevance of Manpuku-ji for<em> senchad\u014d<\/em> today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several schools of <em>senchad\u014d<\/em>, much more than in <em>chanoyu<\/em>. Most of these schools are under the roof of the <strong>All Japan Senchad\u014d Association<\/strong>  (\u4e00\u822c\u793e\u56e3\u6cd5\u4eba \u5168\u65e5\u672c\u714e\u8336\u9053\u9023\u76df, <em>Ippan shadan h\u014djin zenkoku senchad\u014d renmei<\/em>) which was founded in 1956 (\u662d\u548c 31) after the <em>y\u016bkai-chakai<\/em> (\u904a\u4f1a\u8336\u4f1a), a yearly <em>senchad\u014d <\/em>tea gathering at Manpuku-ji (the first gathering was in 1954). This happened in order to help this culture to recover after it had suffered a huge decline after the Second World War. The All Japan Senchad\u014d Association which is also located at the temple still aims to preserve and spread <em>senchad\u014d <\/em>by hosting tea gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, the temple hosts <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.obakusan.or.jp\/about\/events.html\">two big tea gatherings<\/a><\/strong>, one in May and another one in October <em>(If you are interested, but cannot read Japanese, copy and paste the names of the tea gatherings in the search function of your browser in order to find the date: \u5168\u56fd\u714e\u8336\u9053\u5927\u4f1a and \u6708\u898b\u306e\u714e\u8336\u4f1a)<\/em>.

Besides the tea house, there is a small hall called <em>Baisa-d\u014d<\/em> (\u58f2\u8336\u5802) in honor of Baisa\u014d. During the tea gathering, the tea master was very kind to answer my questions and explained the process of preparing the tea and also talked about the history of the temple and <em>senchad\u014d<\/em> (<em>I did not take any photos during the event out of respect)<\/em>. One thing that I can remember very well were banana trees in the tea garden, since it is quite unique. During the Hotei festival, there were also many booths, where local products were sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I could never attend one of the big tea gatherings in May or October until now. Hopefully, I will get the chance when I visit Japan in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0018b-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0018b-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0018b-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0018b-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0018b-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The tea house Y\u016bsei-ken<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0027a-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0027a-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0027a-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teablogasia.samaime.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC_0027a-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The garden at the tea house with the banana trees<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another face of the temple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides tea, Manpuku-ji also offers <em>fucha-ry\u014dri<\/em> (\u666e\u8336\u6599\u7406), which is a vegan Chinese style Buddhist cuisine and also Zen meditation experience.
