Welcoming guests ...

We were proud and happy to have with us today for a cup of tea Daniel Golesteanu, practicing Chado at Montreal, and Andreea Stanca, practicing Chado at "CSRJ Angela Hondru" in Bucharest. An informal, yet beautiful meeting. Thank you both!

New DOGU for TEA

Thanks to Igari san, the students of our Tankokai can now practice all the temaes. New dogu, just brought from Japan.

Japanese Technology for well being, Iyashi Dome - held an opening in Bucharest and offered to the public a Tea Ceremony Demonstration.

One of Rikyu's most well-known sayings is:

"Though many people drink tea,
if you do not know the Way of Tea,
tea will drink you up."

I am sure we will all read this, agree, and continue to remain eons apart in our understanding of what that means. There is a degree of beauty in the strangeness of this encounter with such a simple phrase. One way or another it shows the continuous danger we face while practicing tea.

Tea in March

March is always as mad as a March Hare, especially when the poor rabbit thinks it must behave as if it is always tea time, for the Hatter murdered the time.
Had we not filled the week time with tea, tea events and again tea, as if there was nothing else left on the planet? What else to do, in the end? Nothing more basic and simpler than tea.

We held Rikyuki, the celebration of Sen no Rikyu, and 423 years from his death. We had special guests,  Mr. Adjunct Direcor of the National Museum of Art in Bucharest, and his wife. A hard, full seminar fallowed the event.

Chanoyu Demonstration at Urbanesc

Vinerea trecuta ne-am bucurat de o frumoasa si linistita seara la prietenii nostri de la Urbanesc, in compania domnului Gabriel Soga Caciula si a ajutoarelor sale, care ne-au transpus pentru cateva ore in delicata lume a ceaiului.  




The event was organized by Fundatia Calea Victoriei and Chado Urasenke Tankokai Romania Luminis, together with the Chado Group of  “Centrul de Studii Romano-Japoneze Angela Hondru".
