Japanese Tea Ceremony with Omotesenke-ryu

CHADO - Way of Tea

Please be our guest in the Shoseian Tea house for an unparalleled opportunity to experience a tea ceremony in our traditional roji garden setting at the Seattle Japanese Garden.

Practiced in Japan for centuries, the art of tea ceremony is imbued with harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. 16th-century master Sen no Rikyu refined Chado, and the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic of simplicity and humility he taught had widespread influence, including on the architecture of tea gardens.

Experience a 40-minute tea presentation inside the Shoseian Teahouse. Visitors will be seated on tatami mats. Please avoid jeans, bare feet, rings, and personal fragrances.

To purchase tickets, please call the Japanese Garden ticket booth at 206.684.4725 or email Klaus.goodrum@seattle.gov.

Tea Ceremony Tickets are $10 for Adults, and $7 for Youth. Regular admission to Garden is also required:
$6.00: Adults
$4.00: Seniors, students with college ID, and youth

Chanoyu Seattle Omotesenke-ryu will host this "Introduction to Chanoyu" experience at 1 and 2 p.m. on the designated dates.
