Experience the rich thread of Japan's tea culture in the tranquil setting of the
Washington Park Arboretum Japanese Garden Shoseian teahouse. Through the
medium of powdered green tea, the Way of Tea offers artistic inspiration and
spiritual reflection.

Transmitted since the 17th century by the Urasenke Konnichian of Kyoto,
Japan, Chado blends teahouse and garden, calligraphy and flowers, ceramics
and lacquer ware, incense and tea to engage the mind, body and spirit.

The Urasenke Foundation Seattle Branch invites you to enjoy the simplicity of
the rustic tearoom, the warmth of the clay bowl, the bitterness of powdered
green tea, the joy of the changing seasons, and the singularity of each moment
that can never be repeated.

Chado programs include introductory
demonstrations, in-depth tea gatherings
and
university and branch classes.  Programs are open to all, regardless of
experience.
