Tea Ceremony
〈Lessons〉Curriculum System
The Urasenke School of Tea Ceremony employs a comprehensive curriculum designed to ensure that lessons follow the same content whether you are in Japan or abroad. The program is structured to allow students to progress through the stages of training in an enjoyable manner. It is designed to be accessible to everyone, enabling students to master the theory and techniques of the tea ceremony. Starting with simple tea preparation, students can also experience kaiseki cuisine during formal tea ceremonies and gatherings. Classes are conducted on both tatami mats and chairs. Students who wish to do so may receive a certificate of completion upon finishing the course.
〈Workshop〉
After a brief overview of the history of the tea ceremony, you’ll watch a demonstration of the tea preparation process and then prepare and enjoy matcha together. You’ll also have the opportunity to make and enjoy your own nerikiri (a traditional Japanese sweet made with lima beans and red beans). Please let us know if you have any preferences or requests.
