This Autumn there were many tea activities for Issoan.
October 18-20, Margie traveled to New Mexico to celebrate their 20th Anniversary.
October 27, Margie visited the beautiful Hakone Gardens in California to attend the Hakone Daichakai. It was good to reconnect and meet new tea friends.
November 9, Issoan celebrated Robiraki with tenshin meal, sumi demae, koicha, and usucha at two seki.
Margie also held Robiraki at the Portland Japanese Garden for the Kashintei Kai group on November 16.
November 23, Issoan held a kimono and dogu sale. Many newer students had an opportunity to purchase utensils at an affordable price.
We are looking forward to the winter activites and celebrations of the New Year.
