Hangar Art Center黒田アキ展にてオープニングと毎週の呈茶。

The Japanese tea ceremony, also called the Way of Tea, is a Japanese cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of matcha, powdered green tea. It is a choreographic ritual of preparing and serving green tea. Preparing tea in this ceremony means pouring all one's attention into the predefined movements. The whole process is not about drinking tea, but is about aesthetics, preparing a bowl of tea from one's heart. The host of the ceremony, SAIAN, always considers the guests with every movement and gesture. 

SAIAN, Japanese Master of tea will organise a tea ceremony almost every Saturday, from 16:00 to 17:00. The ceremony will take place in an original tea house, in Aki Kuroda exhibition
