Hatsugama 2013

Happy New Year.  It is the year of the snake, and the chokudai for this year is "standing."

We are lucky enough to have a robust chado community in Portland and so far there has been two Hatsugama chakai with two more to go. 

Issoan Tea School held Hatsugama on January 5 at two seki.  A light meal, koicha and usucha was served.  Below are a few photos from the event.
