広徳寺にて茶会

広徳寺茶会（練馬区）

On brilliant Sunday, more than 100 people gathered and enjoyed autumnal coloured leaves in the Japanese style garden. The site has been highly considered by the Maeda family and other feudal lords. One of the tea room used to belong to the Prince Kuni, where the Omote-school's performance was held.

We could also enjoy the way of scent (Oie-school). Compared the tea ceremony, it's more subtle and undetectable. Tea ceremony is kind of visual emphasis such as tea bowls, tea kettles, kaiseki cuisines wares, hanging scrolls, and of course, we can taste the tea and sweets. As well as the mental postures.

On the other hand, the way of scent is only within our hearts. Some scents might be an impetus for noctrurnal memories, for some it might be splendid summer sky. It's an art of nuance and invisibility. There are thousand way of feelings, differs from perticipant to perticipant.

Every people on the glove are surrounded with any odors, secnts..But,

only our race could develop it to the art and made it the norm of living., said the professor.

I just remembered Mr.Tokugawa's lecture reffering to the same kind of thing.
