１０月の初頭に、この度お茶名をいただいた３名の生徒さんによる『茶名披露の茶事』を予定しています。
一席８名ずつに「重ね茶碗」のお点前でお出ししようということになり、久しぶりにこのお稽古をしました。
永らく奥にしまってあった蓬莱茶碗を引っ張り出してのお稽古です。
お濃茶の回し飲みも、しばらくしていませんでしたので、コロナ以来の本来のお濃茶のいただき方も練習できました。
At the beginning of October, we’re planning a Chaji (formal tea gathering) to celebrate three students who have recently received their tea names.
For this occasion, we decided to serve guests in groups of eight using the Kasane-jawan temae (stacked tea bowls), so we’ve been brushing up on this procedure after quite a long time.
Out came the Hōrai-jawan tea bowls, which had been tucked away deep in storage for many years.
We also practiced sharing a single bowl of koicha (thick tea)—something we hadn’t done in a long while. It felt meaningful to once again experience the traditional way of drinking koicha, something we had not been able to practice properly since the pandemic.
