About me

For more than 5 years, I have practiced the Japanese tea ceremony in the Urasenke School style. I started under a Japanese teacher in Germany, continued my studies under Teacher Nakajima after I moved to Tokyo 4 years ago, and now I am learning under the direct supervision of Teacher Yonezawa, who is a direct student of the head master of the Urasenke school. I have already obtained 3 certificates that allow me to practice and showcase the beauty and tradition of the Japanese tea ceremony.
