In November, I practiced tea ceremony three times. The guests had fun time while talking and taking look at tea utensils I used. I would like to improve my skill next year. The world of tea is deep.

Japan has opened the door in July. Finally I welcomed special guests from the U.S. in August

I welcomed several guests to my tea room. Asuka is one of them. She tried matcha or powdered green tea for the first time.”Delicious!”she said. I work hard for this simple word every day.

In February, some strong plants come out from the ground. It is pleasure to see narcissi snd buttercups.No guests in this month however, I will welcome some guests in March.
