Tea Ritual
"Cherry Blossom Viewing 2023"

The cherry blossom season has finally arrived!

Cherry blossoms are the symbolic flower of Japan and also the most beloved flower of the Japanese people.

In Japan, Ohanami(cherry blossom viewing parties) are held in spring under the cherry trees, where people enjoy Bento(lunch box), drinks, and tea with family and friends while admiring the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms are not just a flower for Japanese people, but a special flower that teaches us about life. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they fall in the blink of an eye. This beautiful, fleeting, and graceful falling is deeply connected to the view of life that the samurai aspired to.

At this tea ritual, we would like to enjoy delicious matcha with everyone while eating Ohanami dango(three-colored dumplings), an essential part of the cherry blossom viewing experience. We will be using Tabidansu (portable tea utensils set) used for enjoying matcha outside and tsurigama, a kettle suspended by a chain. 

Please join us to celebrate the arrival of spring this year!
