I studied Urusenke with my wonderful sensei for 3 years and had the opportunity to meet the Grand Tea Master when he visited L.A. years ago. I enjoyed performing tea ceremonies for various Japanese festivals and own a lovely kimona. Other than Urusenke students, I do not know anyone else who owns a chasaku, chasen, etc. Thanks for visiting my blog~<br />SHawnMicupofteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681897135304690115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-41817676663095425432012-03-22T12:32:01.534-07:002012-03-22T12:32:01.534-07:00Hi Stephanie,
