Election Campaigns and Foreign Policy in Times of Political Polarization (flyer / blog report) |
We have recently established Sakura Cha Meet, a UN Alliance non-profit organization (NGO) that aims to spread the Japanese concept of harmony through the celebration of the cherry blossom season and the Japanese tea ceremony.
We believe that Western countries and the world would benefit from learning the concept of harmony which is so essential to the tea ceremony and eastern philosophy in general. Ultimately, we want to cultivate this concept in the minds of future global leaders. Today, global leaders are only influenced by Western culture. We truly believe that if they learn and practice the concept of harmony through tea diplomacy, the world can move forward in peace, with more collaborative and empathetic leaders. This can only be achieved by educating the young generations of future world leaders to learn and share harmony for peace.
One of the most inspirational quotes I have heard during last year’s activities in Washington D.C. was that “Japanese tea is delicious. But I don’t want to just taste it, but I want to learn the world of Japanese culture through its acts. I want to taste and learn.” In the tea ceremony, we are able to cross borders and have face-to-face mutual communication in a circle of peers who share the common goal of going from conflict to harmony. From this Japanese concept, we believe we can contribute to fruitful international dialogue. It is clear that there is a strong need for this type of dialogue in our world today. Through participating in the tea ceremony, leaders can learn the concept of harmony.
In order to promote harmony and dialogue in our global leaders, your understanding and support is invaluable. We kindly ask for your support on this project.
