About the event
To celebrate the opening of More Things Japanese, the Heritage Museum of Asian Art invites community members to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Known as Chanoyu, this ritual is an immersive art form that weaves together calligraphy, flower arrangement, movement, sound, taste, and craft—bringing to life the harmony of ceramics, lacquer, bamboo, and textile. Join us in honoring this centuries-old practice as a living expression of Japanese culture and aesthetics.
Instructor: Omar Francis Sensei (instructor in the Urasenke Tradition of Chanoyu and Vice President of Chado Urasenke Tankokai Chicago Association)
Session 1: 11 am - 12 pm (20 people)

This event is organized by HMAA and supported by Japanese Culture Center and Chicago Teahouse.
