영문 초록

This year, as countries short in natural resources, both South Korean and Japanese government and industries have acknowledged that both needs to invest in improving their presence in cultural enterprises to utilize their national powers more efficiently and have been in talks to find a practical method to do so. It should be noted that Dado (다도, 茶道, tea ceremony) is a very important asset as a business and as a central theme for multiple cultural enterprises. The purpose of this study is to identify the current state of Japanese Dado (다도, 茶道, tea ceremony) and to utilize that information to develop contents which will boost South Koreas Dado (다도, 茶道, tea ceremony). After being organized by Sen no Rikyū (千利休1522~1591) in the 14th century a tea ceremony Meister program was established around Japans E-ye-moto(家元) and became one of the most unique cultural system to represent Japans tea ceremony. Originally tea was brought over to Japan by monks who traveled abroad to Tang Dynasty (618~907) to study Buddhism. They would bring over the tea seeds and plant them in Seburi mountain located in Saga-hyun. Teas popularity hit near rock bottom until in 1911 where Eisai (1141-1215), who built the Shofujuki temple, brought back tea from the Song Dynasty. During the Muromachi period Dado (다도, 茶道, tea ceremony) began to establish its basic form by embracing the flashy styles of Higashiyama culture. As a reaction to the overly extravagant ways, Murata Jukō (1432-1510) preferred a more simple and modest approach and established the Wabi tea style based on his philosophy that tea and meditation is one(다선일미, 茶禪一味). His style was passed down to Takeno Jōō (武野紹鴎, 1502-1555) who in turn passed the torch to Sen no Rikyū during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Sen no Rikyū perfected the art of tea ceremony and completed the Wabi tea culture started by Burata Shuko. Wabi tea is considered the original tea ceremony form for Japans tea culture and Sen no Rikyū was the one who defined it. Sen no Rikyū not only establish and refine the Wabi tea style but also the sōan tea (lit., grass hermitage ) which emphasized on freedom and practicality. Sen no Rikyūs pupil Yamanoue Shoji (1544-1590) added his philosophy of Ichigo-Ichieh (一期一會lit., Once in a lifetime) to that of Shikishichisoku of Sen no Rikyū and continued to improve upon it. Tea began to reach the general public only after modern era. There are three groups who make up the Sansenke, which is in the very heart of Japanese tea culture, and they are Omote Senke (1613~1672), Ura Senke, Mushano Kouji Senke. Some also consider Yabunouchi Ryu and Sadohayami Ryu and call them the big five. Japan has not only embraced Tea ceremony as part of their cultural heritage but also has turned it into a great medium and utilized it in various business and content creations to raise its marketability. First of all, various venues such as Tanabe museum, Irimashi museum, Tea information center and culture centers hold tea ceremonies and classes where everyone can join in for a nominal fee. Second, places such as Numas Koyotei Memorial Park, Uahhonjin park, Porenakakawane Tea center, Shijuokas Tea center, Shimistei Park serves tea to the general public and also hold entertainment events with Tea infused into their programs. Third, various mediums such as Ang Donuts, Nihonjinno shiranai Nihongo (Japanese even Japanese don t know), Hanayori Dango, Aoki Sachikos Chabashirakuri comic in weekly publication Times, and Japanese webtoon the Tears of Tea- Larmes de Thé by Minamo Kaeroo published in EDEN provides multiple angles for tea to reach the general public and last, sales of tea drinks, instant teas, and tea related character products for adding values to teas.
