Upcoming Chanoyu Programs
Tea at Roedde House Museum
Saturday, May 13
1:00 & 3:00 pm
On May 13th, step back in time with us at Roedde House Museum, where we'll be doing a table-style tea ceremony and looking back to the vibrant period of cultural awakening between East and West around the turn of the 20th century. Roedde House was built in 1893, at the same time that Ernest Fenollosa and later Okakura Kakuzo were introducing Japanese arts and philosophy to the West. Okakura's seminal "Book of Tea" (pub. 1906) and its reception attest to the deep interest in Japan and Japanese culture in the West at this interesting historical moment. We're looking forward to the opportunity to share tea in this historic space!
