Do you have any experience of the Japanese culture? Do you practice tea ceremonies every evening to get better at it? Is it possible to get better at it? What sets the rules for an art that can't be perfectioned? Or can it be? Who sets those rules then? I seem to have some questions,, perhaps you have some answers? =)
Enjoy!

Hmm I have a little experience with some japanese culture but not much
as for getting better at something cultural you don't really get better at it
you just get used to it until it becomes something natural to you but I guess
you can call that getting better at it if you want.

I think it was something I read that a tea ceremony is an art form in itself so you can't become perfect in it. But there must be someone who is the "master" of tea ceremonies? Someone who is better than all the rest,, or at least recognized as being so.

Origami is sort of a cultural phenomenon; it's grown to encompass all paper-folding arts, even of other countries. There are names for some of the folds, and many of the resulting origami work represents a certain aspect, like peace or prosperity. There are some legends built around some of the origami forms, like the paper crane or just the art itself.

It's also kind of a competition/challenge for those who are truly masters of the art. ^w^ The type of paper, the color, everything is pretty vital to the outcome of the final product; it can get pretty serious!
