GIFT CARD

BUNJIN LITERATI SALON

Bunjin Literati Salon offers a space to delve into Japanese culture, history, and art. Beyond calligraphy exercise, participants engage in discussions and knowledge-sharing with fellow literati, fostering a vibrant community of like-minded individuals.

The June 2024 edition of Bunjin Literati Salon will spotlight tea ceremonies featuring Sencha Green Tea and the fascinating life of Baisao (売茶翁): a monk, tea merchant, and calligrapher.

While Matcha Green Tea held prominence in formal tea ceremonies among Samurai society, Sencha gained popularity for its use in casual settings, particularly among the middle class during the Edo period. We'll explore the historical journey of Chinese tea culture to Japan, the evolution of tea culture within Japanese society, and the pivotal role of literati figure Baisao in establishing Sencha tea culture. Join us for a delightful workshop accompanied by Sencha tea and snacks!
