Ichigo-Ichie

I'm a Japanese woman living in Nara. This blog tells you how to be a "YAMATONADESHIKO". "Yamatonadeshiko" means an ideal Japanese lady who is intelligent, sophisticated and thoughtful. I learn Sado-Japanese traditional tea celemony and Ikebana-Japanese traditional flower arrangement. I introduce about Japan through my experiences. So you can get to know more about Japanese culture such as Sado,Ikebana, customs and seasonal events, especially the ones in Nara.

The first Sado class in this year!!

It's been long time to write!! Actually I was very busy in these few months.

BTW, I had Sado class yesterday. And it's the first class in this year. I almost forgot about the celemony that I did because it's been 1 or 2months from last class.
My subject of tea-ceremony on yesterday was "Nagaita-temae".
"Nagaita" mean long board in Japanese. We use "Nagaita" at this ceremony.
I've learned Sado for about 16years but I was like just begginer especialy yesterday.
I learn "Ura-Senke" Sado. There are many kinds of ceremony we have to learn till we can get the Name in Sado called "Ochamei".
I am on the middle level in its.
There is one of the Zengo word "Shoshin" mean "Always keep your mind as open as when you began".
I want to keep "Shoshin" and I learn Sado as my lihe work!!
