Harrison Public Library Presents: Japanese Tea Ceremony

Harrison Public Library, Bruce Avenue, presents the Japanese Tea Ceremony on Saturday, February 11 at 11:00 a.m. 

Tea is the favorite beverage of the Japanese and an ever-present part of daily life.  A cup of tea is always offered to a guest. The formal tea ceremony, during which the tea is brewed and served, requires quiet concentration and the strict observance of rules. The ceremony is filled with spiritual meaning, and its correct performance was once considered one of the necessary social graces of Japanese women.

Sponsored by the Library's Japanese Volunteers.
