A cup of tea alone heals you,
Two teas are intimately shared,
The tea of the three people understands each other's hearts.
This is the first exhibition in Japan of Hayashi Yongsheng, one of Taiwan's leading tea ware artists. What Mr. Hayashi pursues through his works is not fashion, but the beauty of tea. For example, even with a small cup, you can clearly see the difference when you use it. When you pour it in, the aroma rises strongly from the bottom of the cup, the color of the tea stands out, the temperature reaches your skin when you pick it up, and when you put it in your mouth, the tea flows down smoothly. You can feel the serious attitude.
In addition, tea utensils that invite you to the depth of tea, such as a mysterious tea pot that adjusts the gestures of the user and a tea sea that does not lose the taste of tea, have gained great support not only from Taiwan but also from highly demanded Chinese tea masters. increase.
This time, we will present the world of private tea ceremonies for one to three people, which we usually enjoy, in a variety of ways. I would like to tell you.
We have carefully selected tea leaves from Mr. Hayashi's favorite tea in Taiwan and Iroka's "Chafu chafu". We are preparing to purchase your favorite tea leaves. Rina Kato from Starry Night and Sayoko Sugiyama from Okashimaru prepare the sweets daily.
This time, due to space limitations, we are unable to display many tea utensils. Instead, we aimed to create an exhibition that conveys the splendor of tea utensils and the real tea culture that can be enjoyed in private through tea. There will be tea ceremonies, workshops, and other events every day during the exhibition period. See below for the schedule of events for each day of the week.
Please come and visit us alone, with your precious friends and partners.
