Chuo-ku International Exchange Salon Let's experience tea in February

[Nathaly] March 1, 2013 08:30

On Saturday, February 16, an international exchange salon was held at the women's center "Bouquet 21" in Hatchobori, Chuo-ku. This month's tea. It's a tea ceremony. It is one of the most popular events among Japanese people, following last month's Japanese sweets class.

However, it's hard to experience the tea ceremony in earnest, especially for foreigners.
Tea ceremony manners, regular seating, etc. That's why the salon here introduces tea that can be enjoyed in a short format. The tea ceremony teacher will show you an example at first.

After looking at the example, I will try to make tea from one by one.
A Chinese resident in Chuo-ku participated with a mother who came to travel from China, but it was very smilinghappy01 to make tea with each other. I miss Mom! I felt like it ~crying
The tea ceremony is made with a spirit of compassion. I think it was a valuable experience for parents and children.

After experiencing the tea ceremony, it's a free talk. The topic this time is about tea.
In China, it seems that there is no custom like a tea ceremony, but when guests come, it is customary to put tea leaves and hot water in a transparent cup and drink something soaked. 。 In addition, we interacted through free talks on Chinese sweets and how to spend winter.happy01


The teacher who showed me the example this time decorated the hanging scroll, plum blossoms, and chicks in order to create an atmosphere close to the tea room as much as possible. lovelyIt's still cold, but it's almost spring.happy01
