Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony History and Culture Livestream with Eriko - Washington, DC History & CultureWe invite you to join us for a live demonstration of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony hosted by our friend Eriko in Tokyo.
This is the second program in our series on Japanese history and culture.
During part one, " The World of Kimono " (YouTube recording link below), Eriko shared the history and culture of kimono, showing different varieties of kimono and accessories, and then demonstrated a kimono fitting. We highly recommend watching the kimono program before the tea ceremony demonstration.
During part two, Eriko, broadcasting live from Tokyo, will share more history and culture with us through a demonstration of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
There will also be a Q&A segment.
The program will be in English and is being broadcast live from Tokyo, Japan (9:00 pm Friday, Washington, DC time and 10:00 am Saturday, Tokyo, Japan time) via Zoom.

__________________________
Japanese tea ceremony (known as sadō/chadō (茶道, "The Way of Tea") or cha-no-yu (茶の湯)) is a traditional form of tea ceremony and a Japanese cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha (抹茶), powdered green tea, the art of which is called (o)temae ([お]手前/[お]点前).
Zen Buddhism was a primary influence in the development of the Japanese tea ceremony. Much less commonly, Japanese tea practice uses leaf tea, primarily sencha, a practice known as senchadō (煎茶道, "the way of sencha") in Japanese, as opposed to chanoyu or chadō.
Tea gatherings are classified as either an informal tea gathering (chakai (茶会, "tea gathering")) or a formal tea gathering (chaji (茶事, "tea event")). A chakai is a relatively simple course of hospitality that includes confections, thin tea, and perhaps a light meal. A chaji is a much more formal gathering, usually including a full-course kaiseki meal followed by confections, thick tea, and thin tea. A chaji may last up to four hours.
Chadō is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kōdō for incense appreciation, and kadō for flower arrangement.

Eriko Shiratori - Tokyo, Japan Tour Guide
Eriko has been sharing her love of Japanese culture with people around the globe since 2017. In her words, Japan is beautiful, unique, and weird all at the same time!
She's been lucky to have traveled to dozens of amazing countries and she got a chance to live overseas, in Australia and Canada, for a couple of years. Being exposed to other cultures has given her a new lens to look at her hometown and its traditions.
Her great-grandfather was a kimono craftsman in Tokyo, and today she is honored to wear the kimonos that were passed down through generations. She is looking forward to exploring Japan and sharing a smile with you!
