A good friend, Makiko, first brought me to a tea ceremony not long after I moved to Japan. It ran five hours, the length was the real surprise, and we drank usucha and koicha that day. She’s a tea master now, in the Omotesenke tradition, and I still take lessons with her, her tea room in Japan to mine here in Ireland.What people often sayPeople often tell me the same thing afterwards, that it’s relaxing, interesting, and beautiful, like watching art in motion.
