This month's KIZUNA event was held at Toutou-sha, a traditional wooden house and gathering-place for people interested in tea ceremony next to Daitokuji temple. First participants learned about Zen Buddhism from monk-in-training Paul Schumann before trying zazen (Zen meditation). Following this, Dairiku Amae of Toutou-sha provided us with an experience in tea ceremony. Lastly, participants walked around Daitokuji, one of the great Zen temple complexes of Japan and temple-home of tea ceremony. This event was a very good opportunity to learn more about Japanese traditional culture and to interact with other participants.
