第50回 NY日本人勉強会
茶の湯Life - 日常に生きる茶の湯の視点
禅の精神を土台とし800年の歴史をもつ日本文化である「茶の湯」。茶の湯が隆盛を極めた戦国・安土桃山期、茶人の多くは武将たちでした。日々の戦の中で彼らは一服の抹茶を飲むことを通して心を沈め、静寂の中で日常の中に埋もれる些細な音、香りなどへの感性を高め殺伐とした時代のなかに豊かさを見出していきました。それは現代を生きる我々にも日々の支えになるメソッドがたくさん詰まっています。
今回は茶の湯をSamurai Meditaionという新しい視点で捉え、「飲む」こと、そして日常の豊かさを「感じる」ことをテーマにワークショップ形式で茶の湯文化に触れ日々の生活へ活用していくための方法をお伝えいたします!新感覚の茶の湯体験をぜひお楽しみください。
Language: Japanese only

Tea Ritual
"Harvest Moon Viewing 2023"
In Japan, there is an ancient custom where you pray to the moon, called "お月見 Otsukimi" every September. Freshly harvested rice, potatoes, and vegetables are displayed by the window under the moonlight and we give thanks to the rich harvest of the year.
In this month's tea ceremony, we will enjoy a traditional Japanese tea ceremony in a space decorated with Otsukimi, with the lights in the room turned off and in the light of candles.
I look forward to seeing you there!
