Tea in the Garden (4/26)

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

“Zensai” means “entry garden.” In the spirit of welcoming, the Cleveland Botanical Garden invites you to bask in the sophistication and pristine beauty of Japanese horticulture when they present Zensai: The Horticulture of Japan.

The Japanese Tea Ceremony is one of the most highly refined traditional arts of Japan, influencing not only Japanese landscape gardening, but also the arts and values of social manners observed by Japanese people. Chanoyu appreciates the beauty, simplicity and spiritual tranquility that form the essential principles of Zen.

Join Sensei Myoshu Wren and students of Pittak’s Isshinryu Karate & Martial Arts Center to experience this demonstration and sample Matcha(tea) and Okashi(sweets) this Saturday from 11am-noon.
