Kimono New Year’s Gathering in Switzerland

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we hosted a Kimono New Year’s Gathering at our home in Switzerland.
As we were unable to hold this event last year, we were truly delighted to spend a wonderful time with everyone this year.

Rediscovering the Beauty of Kimono

On the event day, Blossom (@kimono.blossom.ch) kindly helped dress four participants in kimono.
Some attendees had the special experience of wearing a kimono or an obi passed down from their mothers or grandmothers for the first time.
This once again reminded us of the timeless beauty and significance of kimono.
We were also deeply grateful to welcome two guests who traveled from beyond national borders to join us.

Osechi Cuisine & Elegant Table Setting

We prepared a traditional osechi meal to celebrate the occasion, thoughtfully arranging each dish.
Although osechi requires advance preparation and is less demanding than sushi catering, it still took over 40 minutes to carefully set up the table.
Seeing the guests moved by the presentation made all the effort worthwhile.
A special thanks to Minako, who assisted with sushi rolling, serving, and tidying up throughout the event.

Debut of Wajima Lacquer Toso Set

For the first time, we used a Wajima lacquer toso (sake) set sent from Japan.
We cherish this beautiful piece and hope to continue using it for many special occasions in the future.
Perhaps, it will even make an appearance at a wedding reception or other celebratory events one day.

A Special Moment with Table-Style Tea Ceremony

We were honored to witness a table-style tea ceremony demonstration by Blossom, who became the first in the world to obtain the Tsubaki no Kai Table-Style Tea Ceremony Advisor Certification (Overseas Exclusive) last October.
She is also engaged in an inspiring SDGs initiative, creating handmade fukusa (tea cloths) from kimono fabric to promote sustainability.
We look forward to collaborating on many more cultural projects together.

Now Accepting Students for Table-Style Tea Ceremony Classes!

Beginners are warmly welcome!
Even if you have no prior experience, we will carefully guide you so that you can confidently prepare tea, just like Blossom did.

Online tea-ceremony class with a student in Canada

I met Sachiko-san, a resident of Canada who has been practicing the Urasenke style of tea ceremony since her teenage years, through the audio app Clubhouse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, we have loosely stayed in touch, and she has participated in online kimono tea parties.

After attending an online kimono tea party in April, she promptly applied for the instructor qualification course for the Table Style Tea Ceremony Tsubaki on the same day. Her decision-making skills were impressive! She completed the curriculum for Table Style Tea in three days, including seven lectures and 15 and a half hours of practice with me through Zoom.

Four days later, there was an event at a tea house the following Saturday, and she attended it.

This course is ideal for beginners or those who need to perform tea ceremonies at short notice. While learning the tea ceremony is a lifelong pursuit, having clear goals in sight enables even beginners to do their best.

matcha workshop with mochi making and a tea ceremony

I gave a matcha workshop with mochi making and a tea ceremony for 20 people from a consulting firm in a hotel at the Zurich airport.

We enjoyed 10 Quizzes and made Mochi with Anko-Paste and strawberries (Ichigo-Daifuku, いちご大福).

In the end, we made matcha tea on our own and did 3 minutes of meditation. Thank you so much! @deloitte_switzerland @deloitte

Until now, it was the most significant moment of this year!
