I used to go abroad when I was a student.

When foreign friends of various nationalities can be made, I have always been asked about Japanese culture.

“Can you do a Japanese tea ceremony?”

“Teach me the meaning of tea ceremonial tools”

What is “What is a tea ceremony?”

I have come to think that even if I do not understand the tea ceremony at all, “I think that it is better to know Japanese culture to some extent as a Japanese.”

So, Mika-san’s casual tea ceremony, from the history and meaning of the tea ceremony, from simple manners to its meaning, I thought that Japanese would tell me what I would like to know.

Mika-san herself was go to abroad, and seems to have encountered such a scene.

In casual tea ceremony, it is attractive that “It tells us what we want to know clearly”.

My mother had been Japanese tea ceremoniy, and my parents house have tea ceremony’s tools.

So I decided to take over that tea ceremony, but I never Japanese tea ceremony, and I thought what to do.

However, I had no idea of ​​going to Japanese tea ceremony room full-scale on my own, because I had children, I thought that I should be able to enjoy it comfortably at home.

Meanwhile, I found Mika-san ‘s casual tea ceremony.

To be honest, it is not enough to learn in earnest, but perfect for me who wanted to be able to enjoy it at home!

Mika-san was very kind when I actually participated, and I taught it to me, who did not know anything about Japanese tea ceremony.

And I thought that Japanese tea ceremony was very profound and I knew it would be more interesting to know.

Thanks to Mika-san, I thought that I should try to do the tea ceremony properly, and it seemed like I could take advantage of my mother ‘s tea ceremony, so I was very happy.

Thank you very much.

Actually, I was interested in Japanese tea ceremony, and I used to go to the class before.

However, I after getting married it was hard to take time and I was forced to take care of my child.

As I could afford a little time, I thought that I wanted to start a tea ceremony, but it was too difficlut.

At that time I found Mika-san’s casual tea ceremony.

At Japanese tea ceremony, I enjoyed in a very nice atmosphere and not stiff.

Especially, the meaning and history of the teaching methods which usually tea ceremony class did not teach was very easy to understand, and I learned a lot.

Normally, in Japanese tea ceremony class, practice is the main, so it is not easy to tell us about why you are doing the maneuver, what kind of circumstances existed and how it did this.

Rather than just doing a maneuver, I realize that the way of doing the manners after understanding the meaning is more and more hearted in it.
