Day 10 – Tea ceremony

This was a unique day.

My aunt Noriko is taking Japanese traditional tea ceremony lessons. We were invited to attend a part of the lesson. I think it was quite an experience for Evan.

The experience started with wearing of Yukata, a casual version of Kimono. We did wear yukata at the hotel the other day, but this version was more formal than that.

Then we attended the tea ceremony lesson held at a city-owned facility with nice big Japanese style room. My apologies—I didn’t take the pictures or movies of the ceremony itself.
