Established by Obata Soyu sensei over 50 years ago, the tea room has been a place for the study of chado & ikebana, family gatherings, and local events. Some "wrinkles" may be showing, but this warm patina speaks to the many years of enjoyment and growth fostered within.

50年以上前に小幡宗友先生により設立され、茶道や生け花の稽古する場、家族の集いの場、金城の行事などに当茶室が愛用されてきました。ちょっとした「シワ」が目に入るでしょう。でもこれは長年、ここで養われた笑いや育成の暖かい「つや」だと思う。

Born in Kentucky, USA, Mike is a chado nerd now living in Kyoto.
Introduced to Chado while in Japan as part of the JET program, Mike continued studying chado in his free time after returning to the States. In 2012, he returned to Japan to participate in the Urasenke Gakuen Professional College of Chado Non-Japanese Student Program. He received chamei (tea name) in 2016. Mike enjoys each day a bit more through tea, and hopes to share that enjoyment with others.

Engrossed in Lacrosse during her college years. After graduation, since chado had also been part of her family life, Fumi entered the Urasenke Gakuen Profesional College of Chado.
