Tour and Chado ("The Way of the Tea")

Following a tour of Shofuso, Sachiko Houck will demonstrate for us a Chado (tea ceremony), a Japanese tradition that has been practiced for over 400 years. During this demonstration, a presenter will explain Matcha tea, the history of Chado, and modern Chado in Japan. We will then have the opportunity to observe her making the tea for a guest according to a procedure known as “Temae” while a presenter explains what the host and guest are doing.
