On 28th August, the Enshu Style Tea Ceremony Demonstration was held 5 times at Japan Creative Centre. About 280 attendees and observers were briefed about the art of tea and its style by NUS students while viewing a demonstration and tasting the tea.
There were also sessions held for children. The Grand Master explained the importance of appreciating the food and the server, considering others, waiting in patience until it was one’s turn and expressing these feelings in words. Children learned some Japanese expressions, for example “Osakini shitsurei shimasu. (Please allow me to drink/eat first.)”, “Gochisou sama deshita. (Thank you for the delicious tea/sweets.)” which were used during the tea ceremony.
