*All my classes will be private until the corona converges. (We will change the number of participants after booking.) In this class, you can experience the basics of the tea ceremony and how to make matcha. Before guiding your friends from overseas, how about learning a little Japanese cultural keywords? It is sure to be a fun opportunity for people who want to test their English conversation skills and participate with people from overseas. (Please inquire in advance if there are any reservations from overseas customers for your desired schedule) Me (Omotesenke school professor) or my husband (both Omotesenke school and Urasenke school certificates) After enjoying the tea prepared by the chef, you can make your own tea and enjoy it. If you are with friends or family, it will be double the fun if you eat together. In our classroom, you can take a seat and draw hot water from the kettle to make the rice. It's not just an experience where everyone sits in the audience and stirs together with a bamboo whisk. I would like you to feel the real texture and weight of each small tool. I was born in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, and I am a qualified teacher of the Omotesenke school who still lives in Nakagyo Ward. Her husband is a descendant of Ihei Ito, who developed somei-yoshino, a cherry blossom variety that is world-famous as the national flower of Japan, at the request of Yoshimune, the eighth shogun of the Tokugawa family. In our classroom, in addition to the antiques given to us by various people and the tea bowls we collected ourselves, we also use old ones given to us by family members. Since sitting in the seiza style puts a lot of strain on the legs, we also offer an experience using a table and chairs called the ryurei style. If you tell us when you make a reservation, even children, the elderly, and people with concerns about their feet and knees can participate with peace of mind. I think there may be cases such as "I learned it a long time ago, but I somehow forgot it", "I don't understand it even if I read a book", "I don't have time to continue learning". Would you like to experience it when it's like that? After the experience, be sure to stop by the Tsukigama and numerous tea ceremonies that can be found throughout Kyoto. I'm sure there will be new discoveries and fun. We can accommodate a large number of people on school trips, family trips, training trips, etc. Our classroom is a member of the Kyoto City Tourism Association. If you have any questions about the detailed etiquette of the tea ceremony or have any questions, please feel free to ask. (Note) *You are free to take pictures before and after the class. *Please refrain from taking photos and videos during the instructor's demonstration.
