“Lesson / Kazumasa Adachi”

Hello to all of you who are watching word by word. This is adachi from the store staff.

The season is changing and tomorrow is the summer solstice. The length of the day is the longest day of the year, but Japan is in the rainy season, so it is often cloudy and rainy, so you may not be able to really feel how long the day is. Although it is the season when the sunlight is difficult to reach, it is also the season when Hydrangea and bellflowers bloom profusely, so even if you can't see the sky clearly, if you pay attention to the flowers at eye level, you may discover something. I don't think so.




Well, this timeFebruary blogI would like to continue to introduce the state of the tea ceremony. This timeChita Cotton pattern Fubi Kimono Shirt​Wrap Hakama PantsI participated in the event wearing a Yukata-style outfit. (Chita Cotton Fubi Kimono Shirt" Somon" that I am wearing is no longer on sale. We apologize for any inconvenience.)


The season changed and the furnace changed to a furo. I went to the tea ceremony last year, but where are the memories of that time?



When I feel like I'm about to stop, the teacher will show me the flow, so I don't have to stop in the middle of the tea ceremony. However, I personally think that repeating the experience of "forgetting" and "learning" will eventually bear fruit, and when you can move your body without thinking about it, you will reach "no mind". I am thinking. I don't know if such a day will come, but I will continue my training until the day when I can do the tea ceremony without any worries!





This time, I learned a new way to place the ladle. It is a style of tea ceremony unique to men, and is only used when passing the water through Tea Whisk.



I got the impression that the teacher's hands were very relaxed and soft. His movements and handwork are smooth and beautiful, but as you can see, I was clumsy in my first attempt. There is only training!




After that, the ladle, jujube, and lid holder were displayed on the small mulberry table. The tools you use change with the seasons, so each one is important and you can look forward to the next season. I think I'll forget that too (laughs).





I think one of the charms of the tea ceremony is that you can forget and remember many things, and then you forget and learn again. If I say that forgetting is fun, I might get angry, but as I continue to enjoy my lessons, I would like to share with you any new discoveries or realizations I may have.




That's all for today.

Goodbye!

(Adachi)
