Urasenke has long been active in promoting worldwide understanding and appreciation of chado, so that the spirit of this ‘way,’ symbolized by its ideals of Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility, can help bring true peace to all people. SEN Genshitsu, who spearheaded this work, summed it up in the words, “Peacefulness through a Bowl of Tea.” Today, Urasenke Foundation offices, Chado Urasenke Tankokai associations, and Urasenke-built tea houses and tea rooms are located in many major cities around the world. Publications in English are also available.
