"We have a number of beautiful Japanese tea wares from the 16th century to the present from the Yale University Art Gallery. The tea ceremony would have a special order to these implements." - Asian Arts Director, Kendal Parker

The tea ceremony is a set ritual dating from the late 1500s. Centering on four main principals -- harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, this formal ceremony ideally takes place in a garden tea house. Spend a moment with our Asian Art Director, Kendal Parker, and learn more about this centuries old tradition. We are pleased to offer these Japanese tea wares from the Yale University Art Gallery in our Asian Art Auction. This auction opens for live-online bidding on Thursday, February 20th at 9:00 am.
