Shofuso Fall Tea Ceremony

Event Date: 10/1/2022

Although there are still concerns about the spread of COVID-19, we held a calm and enjoyable tea gathering at Shofuso. It was a chilly and cloudy day when an autumn rain front was approaching. We had the thin tea for the first time in three years in the Shoin Hiroma with Nagaita Futatsu Kazari while looking out at the beautiful Japanese garden. About 50 citizens and members attended. The thick tea in the Masudoko room was solemnly attended by members of the Domonkai Eastern Region USA; Mr. Yamaguchi of Urasenke; Mr. Yokoyama, head of Shofuso; and Ms. Honda, director of Omotesenke Eastern Region USA. We look forward to serving Omotesenke-style thick tea to the general public as soon as possible.

松風荘　秋の茶会

いまだにCOVID19の蔓延を懸念されますが、松風荘で穏やかで楽しい茶会が開催できました。秋雨前線が近づく肌寒い曇り日でしたが書院作りの広間では３年ぶりに市民茶会も開催し、美しい日本庭園を眺めながら長板の二つ飾りの室礼で市民と会員の方およそ50名方に薄茶を差し上げました。濃茶席は同門会員と裏千家の山口様、松風荘の責任者、横山様、表千家理事の本田様の臨席のもと、粛々と運びました。早く市民の皆様にも表千家流の濃茶を振る舞いたいとつくづく感じました。
