Enjoy the simplicity of the rustic tearoom, the warmth of the clay bowl,
the bitterness of powdered green tea, the joy of the changing seasons,
and the singularity of each moment that can never be repeated.
The annual observance honors Sen no Rikyu (1522-91), who is
recognized as a pivotal figure in perfecting chanoyu as an artistic and
spiritual discipline. Rikyu is remembered with a special offering of tea and
flowers. Open to all, regardless of experience.
