About this Event
Celebrate the fragrant air of early summer with an outdoor “nodate” in the Omotesenke tradition featuring Ryurei table style tea service presented by The Dojin Japanese Arts Society. Guests will enjoy a seasonal sweet with a bowl of matcha prepared in the open air at a special tea table. Please join us for an opportunity to slow down and treat your senses to a special experience in the serene Nikkei Garden.
Note: In case of rain, these sessions will be held in the Ellipse Lobby.
Enjoy both tea ceremonies for a rare opportunity to experience the distinct expressions of Japanese tea culture from the Omotesenke and Urasenke schools on the same day!

About The Dojin Japanese Arts Society
Inspired by the era that witnessed the blossoming of numerous Zen-inspired arts—including Ikebana, tea ceremony, incense ceremony, Noh theatre, renga poetry, sumi ink painting, architectural and garden design — under the patronage of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa in the late 15th century, Dōjin Arts aims to bring together experts in a wide range of different fields of Japanese arts to highlight the points of connection and commonality among the various traditional arts, offering our audience members and workshop participants a deeper understanding of the broader aesthetics, history, and cultural values that bring us together.
