Witness a public presentation of a traditional Japanese practice of tea preparation called chanoyu, featuring tea utensils from the museum’s collection. Chanoyu is the comprehensive and quintessential expression of traditional Japanese art and lifestyle. It is all about the host entertaining guests with a bowl of tea prepared with utmost care. The procedure has been refined to an ultimate sophistication, infused with Wabi aesthetics and Zen spirituality.
This event celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the Eastern Region USA chapter of the Omotesenke Domonkai, the association of practitioners following the tradition of Omotesenke Fushin-an in Kyoto, Japan. For this festive occasion, the local DC representatives have selected tea utensils from our Kinsey Chanoyu Collection to prepare matcha in the Omotesenke tradition. The Kinsey Chanoyu Collection comprises nearly two hundred objects that former NMAA trustee Gregory Kinsey gifted the museum for the express purpose of public education on Japanese tea practice.
