“The Japanese tea ceremony, or chanoyu (translated literally as “hot water for tea”), is a cherished ritual involving the preparation and presentation of powdered green tea in a highly stylized manner.
A host and a guest, wearing traditional Japanese kimono specific to the ceremony, will demonstrate how tea has been prepared, served, and enjoyed in Japan since the 12th century.
Presented by the Sakura Tea Circle.
Tea will be served to participants adhering to current health and safety guidelines.
Cost: $25 per person (includes Gardens admission). Members of Yume pay only $15.
Advanced ticket reservation is required. This is a limited admission event to guarantee social distancing to our guests.”
Other upcoming tea ceremonies on Feb. 19 and April 23, 2023.
“Yume Japanese Gardens will host a lecture and a live fashion show on the Art of Kimono on Sunday, December 11th from 10:30AM – 12:00PM.
Lecture:
The Art of Kimono by Lia Chen
During her lecture, Lia Chen (Arizona Kimono Club) will discuss an iconic traditional Japanese robe, the kimono. So easily definable by its simple, straight seamed “T” shape, the kimono shows remarkable complexity in its craftsmanship, extreme versatility in its use, and rich dynamism in its countless adaptions to the evolution of taste and society.
Lia Chen has studied under a kimono teacher and certified lecturer by the Sodo Kimono Academy in Japan and has a deep love for the fascinating world of kimono born from studying Japanese tea ceremony.
Fashion Show:
Live Demonstration of a variety of kimono by Arizona Kimono Club
Kimono & Accessory Sale:
A sale of vintage kimono and accessories will follow the presentation. Rarely available for purchase in Southern Arizona and difficult to find traditional Japanese items will be not only an amazing browsing experience, but will add beauty to anyone’s collections, wardrobe or even home décor.
Payment at Kimono Sale: Cash or Check ONLY
This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibit: “Obi: Beauty in a Knot”, at Yume Japanese Garden’s exhibit which is running October 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022.”
