The ceremony is held outdoors in the museum’s tea hut and garden. Designed by artist Sano Gofu and built in Kyoto, Japan, Shofuan is dedicated to Harriet and Kojiro Tomita, longtime friends and advisers to the co-founders. With the abundance of pine trees on the museum grounds, the tea hut’s name Shofuan, or “Wind in the Pines,” is fitting.
The tea event is free and all are welcome. Visitors will observe the tea ceremony, receive tea and a special “sweet,” and have the opportunity to ask questions of our presenters, who are from Chado Urasenke Tankokai Boston Association. In case of rain, the ceremony will be held inside the museum.
The museum hosts the tea ceremony three times per year, beginning in June. This year’s schedule:
