The 15th Gin Tea Party 2016

[Silver] October 31, 2016 09:00

 The silver tea ceremony, which has become completely famous as a feature of Ginza in autumn, is said to have been held for the 15th time this year. This year, the fifth-class tea ceremony school, Sencha-do, met together to teach us the world of tea, a traditional Japanese culture.

The Edo Senke light tea seat was popular every year, and customers were in a long line.

In a short interval, I took a picture with Shimbashi Geisha's sister.

I'm looking forward to next year's "East Odori".

 That's why I decided to participate in the Enshu-style light tea ceremony this year. It is all men who make tea and carry tea bowls.

The greeting I received was an explanation of the Enshu style. 

 "Enshu-ryu tea ceremony is a samurai tea ceremony founded in the early Edo period, Oomi no Kunikomuro feudal lord Kobori Enshu. He played an active role in teaching the tea ceremony of the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu and many other daimyo, the public family and the Buddhist monk. The tea style called "beautiful rust" predominantly takes the world. "Beautiful rust" not only affects people's way of life and behavior, but also expresses architecture and crafts until it reached, affecting lifestyles. Today's beauty, Edo beauty and morality are influenced by Enshu's "beautiful rust." Speaking of which, I learned that the garden of the present Imperial Palace East Garden was built by Kobori Enshu. When you have tea, your back is pinned! It grew up.

 Hideyoshi of Shiba Inu also wore a hakama and dressed up, and was charming.
