China, inventor of tea, introduced tea to Korea. Koreans were the first to use tea for ceremonial purposes; hundreds of years before China and Japan, to honor deceased kings and revered monks. The traditional tea bowls used for Japanese tea ceremony (wabi-cha) today were originally Korean rice bowls called ido chawan. A favorite of tea master, Sen no Rikyu, for it’s rough simplicity symbolizing nature. So you can say that the wabi-cha culture comes from Korea. Most likely from the Baekje dynasty.

Not as a result of Japanese occupation which often people mistakenly believe. Traditional Korean culture developed on it's own and away from Japan, often these elements filtered into Japan which is why the similarities exist. In addition, because the west is more exposed to China and Japan, people do not realize Korea exists in between and is often overlooked. If more is known about Korea and more western based research is applied to facilitate knowledge of Korea, I am certain the perspective people often have and views would be dramatically altered. Almost as if looking at a complex puzzle with numerous pieces missing. The final pieces would then allow for much greater understanding and appreciation.
