On Fridays, January 24 and 31, and February 14, the Consulate General of Japan held its 2025 Way of Tea Program for local students at the facilities of Urasenke Foundation San Francisco. This program provides classes of students with the opportunity to experience a Japanese tea gathering to deepen their understanding of Japan and its culture and further motivate them to study Japanese language.
This year, about 120 students from six schools participated in the program. While practicing their Japanese language skills, students learned about Japanese tea culture and history, etiquette, the tearoom and instruments, and about traditional Japanese culture in general.
We would like to thank the participants, their teachers, and the members of the Urasenke Foundation for contributing to this year’s successful program.
