We have just concluded the second summer intensive at Issoan. Between the kimono and dogu sale, to kagetsu, to kimono dressing to kaiseki cooking to calligraphy and chashaku carving we did a lot of activities. The highlight of the week concluded with a yobanashi chaji given by two students who have completed the 3-year teacher training class.
I hope everyone learned something. Thank you for taking photos during the week. We are already planning next year’s intensive
I love kagetsu and we did many rounds including koicha tsuki kagetsu, sumi tsuki kagetsu, ko tsuki kagetsu, and shaza.
It is not often we get to do haigata and sumi demae, but everyone had a chance to do both.
