Hi 皆さん!

私は半年ぐらい裏千家の茶道の勉強をしています。

まだまだわからない事がたくさんありまして、未熟者です。

少し違いを知るために武者小路千家のお茶のレッスンを昨日受けました!

Hello everyone!

For the past 6 months I have been taking lessons in the Urasenke style of tea ceremony. 

I'm no expert yet and have a long way to go but I'm enjoying it very much. 

Just to get a different perspective and understanding, yesterday I took part in the Mushakoujisenke style of tea ceremony. 

美しいお菓子
The beautiful sweets




お茶を私がたてています。
Preparing the green tea. 







早くみんなに美味しいお茶を作ってあげたいです!頑張ります!
Can't wait till I can serve the most heartfelt delicious green tea to people! 

Tea ceremony is not about simply carrying out the motions of making tea. I am starting to understand that every motion has a deep rooted meaning and every action should be filled with the master's hope to create the best tea with love, respect, care for the guest. Tea time is a peaceful and precious moment and should be carried out thinking you may not see each other again and so create the very best service and tea and enjoy the moment together. 

It is beautiful. 

love love love
