Today, I was blessful. It was very nice and interesting. Akita people had a ceremony day to remind them about their culture, especially tea ceremony. Japanese tea ceremony is special for us, not only me but also Japanese itself.
Let say this ceremony as annual festival in Senshu Park, held on weekend in fist week of June. This is open for everyone to come. Here there are some Japanese groups that prepared to bring us in short tea ceremony. We can buy some tickets to join in each ceremonies prepared.
Because we are 'poor' student then we only did some photography. Bringing extra batteries, tripod and comfortable suits. Yes, looking for some kimonos and the ones wear it. Many beautiful women wore kimono in their own styles and comforts. We took some chances to ask some photos with Japanese women. It was very nice. Kak Santi as my partner took part as the Japanese translator and asked the permission to them. I acted as photographer, yeah! This was my best part. Let's see some points of this day.
Ceremony is not only about festival time, but how do they keep the culture. Miraclely, when we wanted to ask an okasan (a grandmother) to have photo with us, did you know what she did to us? Yes we got two tickets to join one of ceremonies in, actually her stand for tea ceremony. We got two free tickets and front chair to see what they did while preparing a glass of Japanese tea. It was very special and awesome time. Miracle is close to us. After enjoying tea ceremony, I realized that this was first time for me to enjoy Japanese real green tea or macha as they call. It was nice macha and cake.
Here attached some photos with beautiful time.
