Urasenke; the largest school of Japanese tea ceremony
The largest and most widely practiced of the three major schools of Japanese tea ceremony, descended from the Sen family through a branch line. Uses the reading ちゃどう for 茶道 and maintains an extensive network of tea rooms and branch schools both in Japan and overseas.
裏千家 is the largest and most widely taught of the three major schools of Japanese tea ceremony (三千家), descended from the Sen family through a branch line.
Cultural note
裏千家 reads 茶道 as ちゃどう, unlike 表千家, which reads it as さどう. Its extensive network of branch schools, in Japan and abroad, makes it the school non-Japanese learners are most likely to encounter.
