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. For more details and registration, please visit the link below:

The advantages of taking a table tea ceremony class course online are, You can take the course at any time and any place, You can also review the lessons as many times as you like on video, I recommend online courses, especially for those who are not good at remembering things. I can also provide tips and tricks for presentations and online classes during the course, I am confident in recommending this course to anyone considering instructor certification!
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.
I performed table tea ceremony at the International Travel Expo “FESPO” in Zurich. I was very happy that people of various races and people with disabilities were able to participate.
I gave a matcha lecture and tea ceremony on a table at the Internationale Sake-Messe “Salon du sake” in Paris.
Thank you for providing a prize for my matcha seminar quiz. It was great meeting with you, Matsuki san, and Yamaguchi san from “Hakushika” Kobe, Hyogo prefecture, (@hakushika_official ) near my hometown.
I did a kaiseki catering for a tea ceremony in Zurich. A tea master Christoph Meier SŌKI @teezeremonie.ch served matcha at the end. It was so wonderful!!!
