UW CHADO
Seattle Branch has continuously offered a University of Washington course in
Chado since 1981. Each quarter twenty-five students enroll in the four-credit Art
History Department course that explores the influence of Chado on Japanese
aesthetics and culture. Students attend a weekly two-hour lecture on campus and
a weekly two-hour studio practicum in the Washington Park Arboretum Japanese
Garden teahouse. Funding for the course is provided by the Urasenke Foundation
of Kyoto.

memorable. Thank you for being a great Sensei.”
