This Japanese saying, used to describe the meaning of the tea ceremony, best sums up the essence of Japan and her people. Japan is a remarkable conundrum: deeply traditional yet also strangely forward thinking; innovative yet entrenched – it is a country that is compelling and also vexing. Just when you might think you understand it, you realize how much more there is to comprehend. For the traveler there are few, if any other countries and cultures, that make such a lasting impression. Steeped in history, shaped by a strict cultural tradition but eager today to engage with the world, Japan is a wonderful travel destination.
