In Japan, it is the custom to greet visitors with a bowl of Tea.
Over the last 500 years, this gesture of hospitality has developed into
Chanoyu, literally, "water for tea" or what we call theTea
Ceremony. Chanoyu is a distillation of the arts and
crafts of Japan: a school of movement, manners, and
connoisseuship; but most importantly, the elegant face of
hospitality.(McKenna) There are three related schools of tea:
Omotesenke, Urasenke, and Mushanokojisenke.
Member Michael McKenna is a certified instructor of Omotesenke Tea and
will be conducting Tea and offering classes at Hammond Museum and
Japanese Stroll Garden on the following dates which coincide with
special events at The Hammond:
