At Ippodo Tea in Kyoto, leaves unfurl in a kyusu teapot as steam rises and water is poured with care. The teahouse hums with activity, but each movement is deliberate and every cup a small ritual.
In Tales of Green Tea, Miyako Watanabe, current owner of the 300-year-old tea house, shares moments, encounters and discoveries from a life shaped by tea and tradition.
Following the journey of the leaf - from misty fields where it is grown and hand-picked to the serenity of tea ceremony - Watanabe explores tea's history alongside its place in contemporary culture. The result is a gentle meditation on how a simple cup can hold memory, season and place.
