Tea at the festival Tower of the sun
Here are the recent events.
Last weekend I saw the "Yasura Festival" in front of my house.
This festival was a period of peace, when the cherry blossoms were falling, plague epidemic became popular,
It seems that it began as a wish for the devastation of the plague.
Their children focused on flower umbrellas, as sub-demons, ogre, musical accompaniment,
Daiko dances like hopping while striking a gig and a drum.
Moreover, by asking for disease-free and breathing, by entering the flower umbrella of the queue
It is said that it is not subject to plague.
Even if it is set to "exorcism of summer season" at the end of June, there are plague diseases in the past,
I understand how hard it was to spend one year's health.
After the festival visit the tea party at the temple in Nara.
Of the tea party and the name of White but the was not the first time,
A fine tea room like going in and out from this time this time.
Starting with your visit, seeing the furnace, seeing the tools etc,
Although it was only something I did not understand,
Thanks to the wonderful guidance of the seniors, it was a day left in the mind.
And this week, I watched an exhibition called "Senju Ten Ji × Minpaku"
To "National Museum of Folklore" in Park.
Ten thousand workers are ten workers involved in the tea ceremony and entering and leaving the Three thousand houses.
I was able to watch the very elegant items.
By the way, even at the "Osaka Japan Folk Crafts Museum" in the same Expo Park
An exhibition "Tea and beauty" is being held.
In addition to this, various events to enjoy tea are held, so it is recommended.
