Title	Tea picnic basket
Subject	Japan Japan -- Social life and customs Tea Implements, utensils, etc.
Description	In Japan, tea is an essential part of a picnic as well as virtually every meal. Although tea drinking originated in China, the earliest record of tea drinking in Japan dates to 729 AD. There are special ceremonies and utensils to prepare and drink tea. Today, most people prepare tea by steeping cured tealeaves in hot water. However, the traditional way is to place a finely powdered green tea of choice in a bowl, add hot water, and then beat the mixture with a bamboo whisk until well blended. This portable tea set, complete with a carrying basket, cloth napkin, a container to hold tea, whisk stirrer and two cups nested within one another, was probably used to prepare tea on picnic outings in the 1940s.
