Chabana
Workshop
15 March
2020 Viva Inoue of the Toin Misho school led two
groups in creating arrangements in a
chabana-like style emphasizing simplicity and
understatement using locally grown plants.
Setsu Meyer shared her calligraphy of "Ichigo
ichie", or "One moment in time, one
encounter never to be repeated",
along with several utensils typically used in
the tea ceremony, as Ichigo ichie is
the feeling typically conveyed by the tea
ceremony. The group then moved to the temporary
tea room they'd set up in the classroom, where
Viva explained the history and practice of the
Omotesenke tea ceremony before serving everyone
tea and wagashi, assisted by Emi Troeger.
