    A random fact that I love is...

    Did you know that the Japanese tea ceremony originated in the 9th century, during the Heian period? It was initially a religious rite among Buddhist monks, but later evolved into a social activity enjoyed by the nobility. Today, it is a cherished cultural tradition that embodies the spirit of 'wabi-sabi' - the beauty of imperfection and impermanence.
