We experienced the spirit of hospitality unique to Japan in the formality and deep tradition of the Enshu-ryu Tea Ceremony, which boasts a history of 440 years. Contestants took on the challenge of experiencing a tea ceremony and making Japanese sweets.

The way these girls, with their flamboyance and purity, devoted themselves to the challenge echoed the essence of Enshu-style tea ceremony, “Kirei Sabi,” and a pure beauty wafted through the atmosphere. ■Enshu-ryu tea ceremony: https://www.enshuryu.com/ Image
