On the 15th and 22nd of April - SPCS will hold an experimental tea ceremony, revolving around the theme of biodiversity, in the Tairitsu-seki teahouse of Shosei-en, a garden belonging to the Higashi Honganji Temple. Three diverse types of ‘tea’ ceremonies will be offered over the two days, with teas made from mushrooms and even the dung of insects. Using the tea ceremony as a space for communication and art appreciation, participants will also be introduced to 10 artworks in and around the teahouse. These 10 artworks were created to explore the theme of biodiversity in the garden. Join us in this rare opportunity to experience the beauty of biodiversity with all five senses through the art of the tea ceremony.※ This event is held as part of Higashi Honganji Temple’s 800th Anniversary Memorial Ceremony.
