What if Sen no Rikyu suddenly wandered into Wonderland?
That single question became the beginning of Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland.
This browser RPG places the legendary 16th-century tea master Sen no Rikyu at the center of a world where Japanese culture meets fantasy.
Inspired by the dreamlike atmosphere of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the game invites players to experience the spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony through an entirely new form of interactive storytelling.
Welcome to Cyber Tea Garden
The story begins in a mysterious tea garden.
A place where nature and the digital world quietly intertwine.
Flowers shimmer with light.
Tea fields and torii gates seem almost alive.
Matcha appears as magical potions.
This surreal landscape is known as Cyber Tea Garden.
As Sen no Rikyu, players travel through this strange world, where every step leads to unexpected encounters.
An Homage to
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland is not a retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Instead, it draws inspiration from its sense of wonder, curiosity, and beautifully illogical world, blending those ideas with Japanese culture.
Instead of clocks...
Tea bowls.
Instead of battles...
Hospitality.
Instead of confusion...
A quiet bowl of matcha.
Wonderland is transformed into a place where the philosophy of tea creates an entirely new adventure.
Instead of Fighting, You Prepare Tea
Most RPGs are built around combat.
Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland is different.
There are no battles.
Instead of attacking...
You prepare tea.
Instead of defeating others...
You welcome them.
Instead of seeking victory...
You create meaningful encounters.
At the heart of the game is Ichiza Konryu, a philosophy from the Japanese tea ceremony that celebrates the unique moment created when host and guests share the same gathering.
Rather than placing combat at the center of gameplay, we wanted to explore what happens when hospitality becomes the adventure itself.
Meet Sen no Robi
The world of Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland is filled with memorable characters who bring its mysterious tea garden to life.
Alongside Sen no Rikyu himself, players will also encounter Sen no Robi, a tea-serving robot created to carry the spirit of the tea ceremony into the future.
The character is inspired by a real robot exhibited at CES 2022, where tradition and technology first came together through WACHA's vision.
The intersection of reality and fiction is one of the unique charms of this world.
An Experimental Narrative Browser RPG
Sen no Rikyu in Wonderland is neither an action game nor a traditional fantasy RPG.
We describe it as an experimental narrative browser RPG inspired by Japanese culture, the tea ceremony, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The goal is not to defeat enemies.
It is to experience a story.
Players become Sen no Rikyu and engage with the world through tea.
Within a short play session, we hope to share the quiet philosophy of Japanese culture, the spirit of hospitality, and the beauty of slowing down.
