In Kimono...

Stephanie and fellow Chanoyu student

Here's a picture from a recent Japanese Tea event.  We were celebrating the 35th anniversary of a local Urasenke tea association.  It was a big-deal event!  Representatives came from all over the United States to help celebrate this anniversary.  I was "Hakobi" which means I carried bowls of tea to the guests.  They would have been sitting on the tatami mats behind me.  It was a lot of work, a lot of fun and I learned a lot, too!

  3. How very lovely to see both of you! Two people I've had the pleasure of meeting in person! I love hearing about your tea ceremony lessons and experiences. What an honor for you to be a part of this one. The ultimate gift is to learn how to serve others with such grace and ease.
