At the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May 2023, Prime Minister Kishida’s wife, Mrs. Yuko Kishida, introduced the tea ceremony at a luncheon for the spouses of the heads of state. The tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese culture of hospitality, and I believe it is a way for many foreigners to understand the depth of Japanese tradition.
On this occasion, after enjoying the meal, everyone enjoyed the tea ceremony with a cup of tea.
We do not use chairs at our tea ceremony experience in Osaka, but many foreign visitors enjoy the tea ceremony with chairs as shown in the image.
