Mr,Kyuzo,What was tea cultivation like in the Heian period? | |
 Kyuzo |
Hmm...The Envoys brought tea seeds fron China. Ask K.S. for details! | |
| Yes, I'll explain then. The origin of tea is well known amongst the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty. The legend of Saichou is that Saichou planted tea seeds at the root of Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt~. Other things that have crossed over include dice, astronomy, and medicinal herbs. |
