Time for rest and relaxation
In today's world, filled with a thousand time-consuming activities, it is important to pause for a moment, to find peace and quiet within oneself.
Slow and precise movements and attention to the guest, an atmosphere is created that brings peace and relaxation to everyone involved.
I would be delighted to accompany you on your journey.
You can see my previous activities in the gallery.
Familiarize yourself with Japanese culture
Tea ceremony
Hopefully, you will discover a fresh outlook on Japanese culture through the art of tea, cultivating a more enriched spirit. The ceremony fosters an awareness that encourages a moment of pause to enjoy and appreciate the present.
The art of tea corrects body, mind and speech. What worries you or makes your body tense is mystically calmed by matcha tea.
The tea ceremony demonstration provides an insight into the world of the "cha no yu”.
Calligraphy
Come to rest and write the characters without worrying too much.
Find yourself in the world of black and white.
Nowadays, people write less and less with pen and paper. However, everyone knows that a handwritten text is better to express feelings and show individuality. Using Ink and Japanese paper enhances this even more.
When you write your favorite characters, your heart fills with contentment.
I hope you enjoy picking up a brush and then letting your imagination run wild.
Flower arrangement
In contrast to Western flower arrangements, in Japanese "ikebana" flowers are arranged one after the other and harmonized with the vase.
The origin of the flower arrangement says "Receive God with flowers".Ikebana creates a blessed place where the human heart can find peace.
Kimono
Wearing a kimono tones your body and soul, improves your posture and your movements become more careful.
Kimonos have a reputation for being constricting due to the many layers of clothing and strings.But once you get used to it, your posture is naturally strengthened and your breathing is deepened.
According to the ancient Chinese book "Shokyou(書経)", the clothes worn by the body can also have a positive effect on your mood. The kimono is made of natural materials, which trigger a sense of well-being when worn.
Let's enjoy the ancient, wonderful kimono culture and create an opportunity to wear Kimono.
