Event Details

Japanese Tea Ceremony

with The Dojin Japanese Arts Society

Saturday May 25th, 2024
1:00 pm & 3:00 pm


Join us as we celebrate Asian Heritage Month with an intimate Japanese tea ceremony in the Roedde House parlour, presented by Maiko Behr of SaBi Tea Arts. There will be two sessions, one at 1:00pm and one at 3:00pm, with 10 participants maximum in each session. This program is made possible through funding from The Dojin Japanese Arts Society.

Although the practice of preparing tea for guests integrating Zen aesthetics and following carefully prescribed movements and protocols dates back more than 450 years, the forms are constantly evolving to suit the times. Using a modern-era tea table to prepare and serve the traditional matcha tea, Maiko will provide an introduction to the Japanese tea ceremony but with particular attention to the period of the encounter between East and West at the turn of the 20th century, contemporary with Roedde House. Step back in time with us for a glimpse at this interesting historical moment when traditional arts were adapting to the modern world.

 

Matcha (stone-milled green tea) and a traditional Japanese sweet will be served. Sweets may contain beans, sugar, rice powder, and agar jelly. If you have dietary concerns, please contact us in advance. Due to the nature of the program, substitutions may not be possible.

Roedde House was built in 1893 for the family of Gustav Roedde and his family. The house was designed by architect Francis Rattenbury, and the family lived in the home from 1893 to 1920. The museum reflects the family's time in the house during the 1890s and early 1900s.
