Eriko-san’s tea ceremony was a highlight of our 10 days in Japan! Artful, unrushed, tranquil, cozy. On a small street in an understated house separate from Higashi Chaya and other touristy areas. Go out of your way to email and schedule with her and you won’t be disappointed.

We learned how gold leaf is made from blocks of solid gold that are imported from other countries. It is an amazingly labour intensive process and very interesting. The shop sells beautiful objects, the staff very friendly. Together with a visit nearby of the Gold leaf museum with excellent movie about the process, we got a real good understanding and appreciation. Only missing is a film about the application on screens, lacquerware and others.
