About this event

For New Year's in Japan, ‘kadomatsu’ ornaments are displayed at the entrance of houses to welcome ancestral spirits. Large ‘kagami-mochi’ rice cakes in the form of ancient mirrors are displayed inside the house, as it is said the gods reside in mirrors.

In the tea ceremony, the New Year's tea ceremony is called "Hatsugama". At Hatsugama, a special matcha called “Obukucha (Good Fortune Tea)" is drunk to pray for health and prosperity in the New Year. It is said to have started being drunk over a thousand years ago to protect people from the plague.

Let's all participants drink good luck tea together and pray for good health for the whole year. We will also be serving "Ozoni", a traditional dish eaten in Japan during the New Year to celebrate the New Year.

With great pleasure, I welcome you to the first samurai tea ritual of 2023!
