About Mitsucha
A blog dedicated to the cultures of China, Korea and Japan. Three civilizations that complement each other, united by a common symbol: tea, a word written almost the same way in all three languages.
Three cultures that complement each other
China, Korea and Japan share common roots while having developed unique identities. Calligraphy, tea ceremony, martial arts, Buddhist philosophy: traditions that have traveled between these three countries for centuries, transforming with each crossing. Mitsucha explores these connections and differences through in-depth articles.
From Chinese Confucianism to Japanese Zen, from the Korean hanbok to the kimono, from matcha to sencha to boricha: each culture enriches the other two. Understanding one means better understanding all three.
Why "Mitsucha"?
Mitsucha comes from two words:
三 Mittsu
"Three" in Japanese, for the three countries that make my heart beat: China, Korea and Japan.
茶 Cha
"Tea": a word that sounds almost the same in all three languages (chá in Chinese, cha in Korean, cha in Japanese). Tea is the invisible thread that connects these three cultures.
Mitsucha is the idea that these three cultures, as different as they are, share something profound. And I'm here to tell you about it, cup in hand.
Authenticity
Every article is the result of deep research and genuine passion.
Accessibility
The blog is available in French, English and Spanish.
Passion
Written with love by a passionate soul, for the curious at heart.
The author
I'm Chloé, I'm 24 and I have Vietnamese and Chinese roots. For as long as I can remember, East Asian cultures have been part of my life: the dishes my family cooked, the stories they told me, and later the shojo manga I devoured and the otome games that opened up entire worlds for me.
Today, that passion has become Mitsucha. I write every article with the desire to share what I love: the beauty of traditions, the richness of Asian pop culture, and those small cultural details that make China, Korea and Japan so fascinating.
To go further in your discovery, I also created resources for learning Asian languages.
