Welcome the New Year through the quiet beauty of the Japanese tea ceremony.

In this video, I share my first tea practice of the year, known as Hatsugama, in the Omotesenke tradition of Japanese tea ceremony. Hatsugama is a special New Year gathering held during the sunken hearth season, offering prayers for peace, health, and a fruitful year of tea practice.
