Japanese Tea Ceremony
Advertisement
Take in a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, within the Teahouses in the Kurimoto Japanese Garden, presented by the Matsukaze Chanoyu Association.
“Matsukaze” means ‘wind in the pines’ – in the quiet of the tearoom, the sound of water in the kettle is similar to hearing wind in the pines. "Cha No Yu" (literally, hot water for tea) is the Japanese art of making and sharing tea.
The Japanese tea ceremony is performed in two styles:
@10:30am and 11:15am - Furo Style (host and guests sit on tatami mats on the floor) is hosted in the Ozawa Pavillion.
@ 1:15pm and 2:00pm - Ryurei style (host and guests to sit on chairs or stools) is hosted in the Ikoi No Ba annex
Each guest will be served a traditional Japanese sweet, accompanied by a bowl of freshly made matcha during the ceremony. Sweets are made with sticky rice flour (mochi) and a bean filling.
This event is suitable for adults and children who are able to sit quietly for up to 30 minutes.
The Ikoi No Ba is wheelchair accessible. Guests with mobility concerns may chose an afternoon Ryurei performance.
A tea ceremony ticket and Garden general admission ticket are both required to attend.
