2013.5.30

It was rainy.
I went to the tea ceremony lesson after a long years, maybe more than a score.   I arrived there around 1:30PM, but there were already three people there.  While I was there I met 6 pupils in total and I could see 4 people's tea-serving manners (お点前 : otemae).  Today we practiced  the way of thick tea procedure called o koicha (お濃茶). Therefore it takes more time.  And when I finished, it was already 5 PM.  It is very hard for me to sit up straight called seiza (正座) for such a long time.  Today's sweet was the shape of hydrangea (紫陽花: ajisai).
