Our monthly Member Tea Gatherings are typically held online, but this time we are excited to host a Special Members Tea Gathering at our office in Kyoto City! The occasion? Our Tea Fellow and shifuku artist, Kyle Whittington, is coming from the UK to Kyoto for his Shifuku Exhibition at Kaikado, running from September 28th through October. To celebrate Kyle’s visit we will hold the Special Members Tea Gathering on 27th September. Kyle, who also practices the Ueda Soko tea ceremony, has generously offered to perform a tea ceremony demonstration during the event.
This gathering will be a wonderful opportunity to meet and connect with other members from Japan and beyond, enjoying a selection of delicious regional Japanese teas. We hope you’ll join us!
