Actually, Mr. Itsuki Urata has been following my social networking site about Zen and tea ceremony in English for a long time. (@Itsuki Urata)
We are from the same city, Edogawa-ku, and our birthdays are in the same month, January…!
He contacted us just in time for his return to Japan and we held a special tea ceremony program.
As he has been active in Brazil, Croatia, and Slovenia, he said, “As a Japanese person, I can tell more about Japan.
He decided to take this program because he wanted to become a person who can tell more about Japan as a Japanese person.
The goal of the special program is for beginners to learn about Japan through tea ceremony and Japanese culture, and to be able to communicate to others as a Japanese person who is active overseas, and also to be able to entertain people with tea ceremony. Therefore,
(1) Learn by connecting your own wisdom and experience with the knowledge of the tea ceremony.
(2) Feel familiar with the tea ceremony and gain hints for daily life and how to live.
3) Acquire techniques to offer the tea ceremony to others.
◼ Reaffirm your identity as a Japanese through the tea ceremony and Japanese culture
◼ Acquire techniques to be able to offer the Japanese tea ceremony to your guests from that day on
◼ Become a person who can speak confidently to people from other countries! Deepen your understanding of the history of the tea ceremony and Japanese culture and be able to verbalize it.
◼ Learn about Japanese culture and history that will make people from overseas say “I see! ◼ Acquire perspectives to communicate about Japanese culture and history through the tea ceremony that will make people overseas think, “I see!
◼ To feel familiar with the tea ceremony and Japanese culture, which are often thought to be difficult to learn, and to acquire methods to continue learning after the course.
It was exactly what I wanted to know” and “It was a meaningful time! I was very happy to hear that you said, “This is exactly what I wanted to know,” and “It was a meaningful time!
I will spread the word!” during the actual tea making work after returning to Japan. I will spread the tea ceremony” after returning to my country.
From the interview stage, she immediately understood the essence of what we wanted to convey, and I thought it was amazing that she is a person active in the world.
I was impressed by his eagerness to learn and his frequent questions.
It was interesting to hear directly from him about the local situation and the popularity of Tabi socks among Japanese soccer players.
He also told us about some Western books on Japan that are popular there, which we will read!

[Report] Crunch Style, Inc. proposed the theme of “Chabana,” a tea ceremony, and Bloomee LIFE, a flower subscription service, and the casual enjoyment of tea ceremony!

[Report] Crunch Style, Inc. proposed the theme of “Chabana,” a tea ceremony, and Bloomee LIFE, a flower subscription service, and the casual enjoyment of tea ceremony!

When you think of the tea ceremony, you probably have an image of matcha green tea, Japanese sweets, and a tea room.

However, there are other important elements in the tea ceremony, such as hanging scrolls, incense containers, and flowers.

The reason for this is that it is important to “enjoy the moment to the fullest.

For example, chabana should not have a strong fragrance so as not to interfere with the aroma of matcha, should not have a strong design, and should be in season.

(*This is an image of “Mizuhiki”)

However, there are times when you don’t have a flower shop near you to actually enjoy them, or you don’t know how to choose the right ones.

That’s where I recommend Bloomee LIFE’s flower subs. Here, seasonal flowers are delivered to your mailbox at a reasonable price such as one coin.

In addition, there is a medicine inside to keep the flowers healthier and longer. It’s a very thoughtful service!

After all, I feel that there is a difference in the sensitivity of glamour and spiritual richness between having flowers and not having flowers.

Furthermore, if you visit the Bloomee LIFE website, you can find various information about flowers and how people enjoy them.

You can enjoy the flowers, and the tea ceremony, in a casual way!

Report: “Everyday Fun through Tea Ceremony! 3 Secrets to Make Your Dreams Come True!” online tea ceremony event

jpcul — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 08:43:38 +0000

On Friday, October 23rd at 20:00, we held an online tea ceremony event at the request of the Urasenke Student Tea Ceremony Research Group!

Thanks to you, it’s a full house! Thanks for the fun!

In addition, the survey showed a 100% satisfaction rate (80% very satisfied and 20% satisfied).

Thank you so much for participation.

This time, many of the participants in the study group had already been doing the tea ceremony for years, and many of them loved it and were studying it.

Therefore, rather than explaining the contents of the tea ceremony, I focused on how I have developed the tea ceremony, how I have created the hospitality tea ceremony, and how we can make the tea ceremony more accessible to people.

Also, because of the impact of the new coronavirus, I have tried to make the program as easy as possible for the participants to interact with each other.

“There were times when I couldn’t do it, and it was hard for me, but after listening to this talk, I felt lighter and more confident to continue!”

“I was able to find out what hospitality tea ceremony is and how to teach it to new members and other beginners.

“It was great to see that the tea ceremony can be enjoyed in a more casual way.”

“In addition to the valuable talks, this year we were able to deepen our relationship in a way we hadn’t been able to before!”

“I was excited to hear that the hospitality tea ceremony can lead to international exchange and that more people can enjoy the tea ceremony.”

“It was exciting to hear about how hospitality tea ceremony can be used for international exchange and how many more people can enjoy tea ceremony.”

“It was great to be able to talk with the instructors and not just have a one-way conversation.”

“It was good that I was able to enjoy the tea ceremony in my own way and not in a conventional way! And I feel so confident!”

“I’m glad I was able to enjoy the interaction more than I expected.”

“It was a very interesting topic and I learned a lot. Thank you very much.”

“I would like to enjoy the tea more.”

“Thank you very much for your valuable talk today. It was very enlightening.
I’m in the process of recruiting new students, and there were times when I was worried about how I should explain to them about the tea ceremony club because some of them had an image that it was too difficult to join. But today’s talk was very helpful in many ways, so I’m glad I did!”

“It was very fresh and refreshing to hear this talk from a different perspective than the tea ceremony I have been engaged in. I would like to convey the hospitality tea ceremony that I have learned this time, so that people will be interested in the tea ceremony.”

“I would like to convey the hospitality tea ceremony to people who are interested in the tea ceremony to them.”

“I think it is important to enjoy the tea ceremony while doing it. Thanks to your help, I was able to listen to the lecture. I would like to participate again next time when I have time.”

“I spent a meaningful time listening to Ms. Fukushima’s valuable talk. I would like to participate in these online events again. Thank you for organizing this event, members of the Kansai Ura-Ken!

“It was more interesting than I expected.”

“Thank you for this opportunity. I usually start by learning the kata as a way to “break away from the law” and I felt that this was the absolute best way to learn the tea ceremony, otherwise the appeal of the tea ceremony would not be conveyed. However, I realized that the appeal of the tea ceremony can be conveyed to beginners and those who are genuinely interested in enjoying the tea ceremony, matcha and wagashi in a casual, simple and easy to understand manner. I feel like my mind has softened a bit. It made me think about what we need to do to pass on the tea ceremony as a part of Japanese culture.”

By the way, we provided each other with matcha and snacks at the social event!

(*This is a photo sent to us by a staff member!)

Best of all, we want you to enjoy your participation!

It was a lovely day, and I hope I can add more opportunities like this to the event!

Hospitality Tea Ceremony teaches you the secret to making matcha easily and happily for everyone, from day one!

Hospitality Tea Ceremony is an informal tea ceremony that is useful in our daily lives and provides an easy way to enjoy the tea ceremony and an introduction to the culture and history of the tea ceremony.

We will show you how to enjoy the tea ceremony in a simple and easy way, and how to incorporate knowledge of the culture and history of the tea ceremony into your daily life.

You’ll be able to enjoy your everyday life more through Hospitality tea ceremony!

“Japanese tea ceremony tools Outfit” was announced in February 2017.

jpcul — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 08:19:08 +0000

In Japanese tea ceremony, we will arrange tools every time to match the theme and season of the tea party (the four seasons), the world view and so on.
The point that becomes a problem at that time is that “you need to prepare new tools each time and arrange them.”
In Japanese tea ceremony, even if it is not originally a formal tea ceremony tool to say “to stand out”, it may be like substitution.
However, I thought that I could enjoy “transformation” so as to make it “dress up” more easily.
Therefore, what we invented is “to dress up Japanese tea ceremony”.

With this idea, as if women choose clothes according to their moods, tea ceremony can be easily catered according to their theme and world view.

[Future]Measures to prevent the spread of infection by new coronaviruses

jpcul — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 06:18:33 +0000

In response to the government’s request, we have decided to change some of the activities of the “Hospitality tea ceremony” in order to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections.

In the past, we have regularly held tea ceremonies where people can gather and enjoy themselves in real places. And we prepared for the future plan.

However, the best way to enjoy anything is to be physically and mentally healthy, safe and secure. Therefore, we will limit such realistic activities until this situation is resolved.

Really sorry to those who looked forward to it and those who brought the project. We would like to make a plan again when this situation calms down.

And We would like to think deeply about what we can do and focus on activities on the web. We have been providing information on the web, but we would like to brush up on this and propose a tea ceremony that can be enjoyed easily at home.

Thank you for reading.
