The Japanese tea ceremony is called chanoyu in Japanese. It is a multifaceted traditional activity strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism, in which powdered green tea, or matcha, is ceremonially prepared and served to the guests. Wabicha is a style of Japanese tea ceremony particularly associated with Sen no Rikyū that emphasizes simplicity. He refined the art of Japanese tea ceremony equipment and tea house design, with a preference for very simple and very small tea rooms, and natural materials with simpler decoration

Dietary sources of polyphenols receive significant public attention due to their many toted health benefits and speculated preventative medical applications. This stems from the reducing ability of polyphenolic compounds as it has been previously established that total reducing capacity can be linearly correlated to the antioxidant power of a material1. While undergraduate students are possibly aware of the potential benefits of antioxidants compounds found naturally in materials such as green teas and berries, they may not have yet considered the chemical mechanism of how these natural antioxidants function. Although the chemical mechanism by which natural materials act as antioxidants varies, many use polyphenol structures to perform these redox reactions2. Therefore, the antioxidizing power of various materials such as green tea leaves, coffee beans, and berries can be compared by quantifying the concentration of polyphenols in these materials3. Here, we have developed an experiment in which undergraduate organic chemistry students will use the “Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma” assay (FRAP) to directly measure the reducing capacity of green tea leaves, and thus infer the antioxidant potential of natural antioxidants from dietary sources4. This experiment thus helps students gain an appreciation for the relevance and diversity of electrochemical reactions in natural materials, as well as introduces them to Green Chemistry principles. Students will use the FRAP assay to assess the viability of safe, natural, reducing agents4, which provide the potential to limit the use of more hazardous, environmentally damaging reducing agents) used in industry today

 This research discusses about the application of the Zen Buddhism principles in urasenke style tea ceremony. The purpose of this research is to explain the application of the Zen principles (wa, kei, sei, jaku) in urasenke style tea ceremony. This research used descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. This study uses the principles given by Sen no Rikyu. These principles are wa (harmony), kei (respect), sei (purity), and jaku (tranquility). The results of this study show that the four principles are applied through the actions taken by the host and guest in the urasenke style tea ceremony. Keywords         : chanoyu, urasenke, buddhism, zen, Japan

The stereotype of Zen Buddhism as a primarily minimalistic or even immaterial meditative tradition persists in the Euro-American cultural imagination. By contrast, this volume calls attention to the vast range of “stuff” in Zen by highlighting the material abundance and iconic range of the Sōtō, Rinzai, and Ōbaku sects in Japan. Chapters on beads, bowls, buildings, staffs, statues, rags, robes, and even retail commodities in America all shed new light on overlooked items of lay and monastic practice in both historical and contemporary perspectives. Nine authors from the cognate fields of art history and religious studies as well as the history of material culture analyze these “Zen matters” in all four senses of the phrase: the interdisciplinary study of Zen matters (objects and images) ultimately speaks to larger Zen matters (ideas, ideals) that matter (in the predicate sense) to both male and female practitioners, often because such matters (economic considerations) help to ensure the cultural and institutional survival of the tradition. Zen and Material Culture expands the study of Zen Buddhism, art history, and Japanese material/visual culture by examining the objects and images of everyday Zen practice, not just its texts, institutions, or elite masterpieces. As a result, this volume is aimed at multiple audiences whose interests lie at the intersection of Zen art, architecture, history, ritual, tea ceremony, women’s studies, and the fine line between Buddhist materiality and materialism.

When tea ceremony, flower arrangement, Noh drama, linked verse (renga), monochrome painting, and dry-landscape gardening are said to represent Japanese culture, it is usually assumed that they were produced and fostered by Zen Buddhism. If we are fully to understand these art forms, we must therefore make a systematic study of their relationship to Zen. The particular species of Zen diat is said to have produced and fostered these arts is the Rinzai Zen developed by Muso at the beginning of the Muromachi Period (1336–1573) when Zen first became a pervasive influence in the cultural history of Japan. Let us look, then, at the position of Muromachi Zen in the history of Japanese Buddhism.
