Our Mugenki Tea event on August 11, 2025 at the Buddhist Temple of Salinas. Mugenki celebrates and honors Tantansai, the 14th tea master of the Urasenke Tea. He did much to propagate the art of tea to the masses in Japan, and began the same for the rest of the world.

This YouTube video is on Tasty Japan, a channel with 600K subscribers, and tea ceremony isn't quite what you expect at this site, but the video is really well done. It is in Japanese, and the English subtitle isn't quite right (computer generated?) but maybe good enough to get the general idea of what is being said in Japanese. It does convey some essential feature of what tea ceremony is all about. It looks to be Urasenke School. 😄
