Tea Ceremony

Tea ceremony is not really fun for young Japanese like me. But I understand it trains various things in yourself.

I was surprised that our kids love this painful training. Off course they also loved MOCHI and Tea.

5th graders learned this first. It was lucky that MIKI-sensei could show them tea ceremony before they go to Japan. She had taken tea lesson about a year in Hokkaido.


Concentration was great. I want to see this more often.

Even picking up the snack(Mochi) has strict manners.

Wow..

↑↓Both 4th graders learned the rules so quickly. Miki was surprised at how fast they have learned.




That was a good lesson. To be honest I did not expect that kids enjoyed this much.
