Tea Ceremony

Sunday, June 30, 2019 from 2:00 PM 

Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden St,
Duxbury, MA 02332

Lead by Tea Master Glenn Sorei Pereira, Chief of Administration at the Boston Chapter of the Uransenke School of Tea and an instructor. He has spent years of study in both the United States and Japan. He will explain the presentation and answer questions. Utensils used for the tea are exquisite and span four centuries. The ceremony, itself, is a quiet, simple ritual based on hospitality. The program will be conducted in one of the very few tea huts in New England, called Shofan, Wind-in-the-Pines Hut. Designed by the Japanese artist Sano Gofu, it was built in Kyoto and reassembled at the museum in 1975. Admission is free but seating is limited and available on a first-come basis.
