There are several galleries with a tea room in Ginza, but today we have the "Ancient Art Momoo" in 7-chome.
I would like to introduce it.
This is a gallery that deals with old tea utensils and Buddhist art. In the back of the store, it was named "Aomine-an".
There is a tea room with a two-tatami medium board, and there is a different space that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of Ginza.
Some of the antiques in the store are gems that can be stored in a glass case and displayed in the museum, and the atmosphere that transcends the ages has been fully conveyed to me as an amateur.
It's a blissful moment for those who are interested or connoisseurs.
What I felt a little closer was that the owner, Tominaga, quit his office worker at the age of 50 and opened a shop. The name "Momo Blue" is the name of Matsuo Basho, who abandoned lower-class samurai and went on a strange path, and he attached himself repeatedly. Despite the difficulties, the personal connections built with daily learning and the good personality of the shopkeeper seem to support a happy second life that combines hobbies and benefits.
The wonderful wife with a smile has a classroom for finishing (bags for placing tea utensils), and there are many students from far away.
Wrap your favorite tea bowls and jujube in a handmade coat will increase the loveiness.
It was a really nice and calm gallery for both couples.
It is a gallery in Ginza that has a high threshold and cannot take a step forward.
Why don't you use the "art gallery night party" or "town walk tour" to interact with the real thing? You may have encounters with fascinating works or wonderful shopkeepers.
Follow basic manners such as greetings and handling of baggage.
