今年は2回程お茶会体験に皆さんと参加する機会がありました。1つは銀座の目抜き通りを歩行者天国にし各茶道流派がそれぞれの体験をさせてくれました。もう1つは知り合茶道教室の外国人クラスでした。皆さんご自分でお茶をたてる事は初体験でドキドキのようでしたが、楽しい時を過ごしました。

This year, we had two chances to join tea ceremonies together.
One was a big event held on the main street of Ginza, where the road was closed to traffic and different schools of tea ceremony offered hands-on experiences.
The other was a trial class for foreigners at a friend’s tea school.
For most of us, it was our first time making tea by ourselves, so we were a bit nervous—but it turned out to be a really fun experience!
