Tea party in an old castle in Spain
Japan Event in Spain
Fifty minutes by car from Valencia. I had the pleasure of serving tea at the Japanese festival “Hina Matsuri” in Cujera, where there is an old castle.
After being introduced by the organizer, Ms. Mikita
I tried to speak a little English.
Surprisingly, everyone seemed to understand English.
I was a little surprised.
Still, there were some children and elderly people, so a member of the Valencia Kimono Club translated their questions into Spanish for us.
They translated our questions into Spanish and really helped us out.
The cab we had reserved did not come to the hotel.
I was very surprised that the taxi I had reserved did not come to the hotel,
Is that a common thing in Spain? Other than that, everything went really smoothly and I would like to thank everyone for their help.
It was a really smooth and successful event
It was a very successful event and everyone enjoyed it.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the event.
And to Ms. Mikita for all her hard work from planning to management!
Thank you very much, Mikita-san, for all your hard work!

Tea ceremony event in Osaka
I started holding monthly Kimono Lunches in Zurich in January 2015.
I wanted to do something exciting for everyone, even if it was just going out in a kimono.
At the last kimono lunch party in Osaka,
We had a tea ceremony in a private room on the hotel’s executive floor.
This time we held it in a suite room of a five-star hotel.
The European-style furnishings matched the kimonos very well.
And the theme this time was camellias. A camellia tea bowl.
The main pastry is “Tamatsubaki”, a famous pastry from my hometown of Himeji.
Golden tea bowls were brought from Switzerland. 💦.
And I wrote thank-you notes on Japanese paper.
I handed them out to everyone.
I hope to meet you again in May. Or I will show you online how to serve matcha.

Kimono meetup via Zoom
You will be able to wear the kimono naturally and skillfully.
We hope you will join us again and again.

Online tea-ceremony class with a student in Canada
I met Sachiko-san, a resident of Canada who has been practicing the Urasenke style of tea ceremony since her teenage years, through the audio app Clubhouse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have loosely stayed in touch, and she has participated in online kimono tea parties.
After attending an online kimono tea party in April, she promptly applied for the instructor qualification course for the Table Style Tea Ceremony Tsubaki on the same day. Her decision-making skills were impressive! She completed the curriculum for Table Style Tea in three days, including seven lectures and 15 and a half hours of practice with me through Zoom.
Four days later, there was an event at a tea house the following Saturday, and she attended it.
This course is ideal for beginners or those who need to perform tea ceremonies at short notice. While learning the tea ceremony is a lifelong pursuit, having clear goals in sight enables even beginners to do their best.
