SHIWASU CHAKAI
Vance Kinoshita and Yuki Tomei hosted over 60 guests at the monthly tsukigama at Hanyoan on December 30, 2023. We quietly enjoyed a bowl of tea together during the last days of the year.

Shikishi in the tenshin seki was by Sokuchusai of Omotesenke, and Tantansai, 14th generation of Urasenke. Sokuchusai wrote the characters for moon and snow (月 雪), and drew flower petals. Tantansai drew a picture of a gourd, representing sake, and the characters によし, meaning suited to or appropriate. The meaning of the Shikishi is that sake is good in all seasons.

WELCOMING TEA FRIENDS -
GETTING TEAGETHER WITH ALOHA
This 1st of October 2023, with permission from Hounsaai Daisosho and Zabousai Oiemoto, Yonezawa Sosho sensei, his tea friends and students from Kyoto hosted a tea gathering in Hawai'i. We enjoyed this rare opportunity for a tea exchange between Japan and Hawai'i. All beautiful and meaningful tea utensils were brought from Kyoto.
The sweets maker, Yukimatsukyokushodo from Komatsu, Ishikawa, demonstrated wagashi making and provided freshly made delectable sweets.
Hanyoan was brimming with Yonezawa sensei's heart-filled thoughts. Thank you very much again for sharing your aloha through TEA, Yonezawa sensei's family! We sincerely appreciate being able to enjoy this great experience, creating lasting warm memories. We are grateful for your visit and your tremendous generosity bestowed in this shared journey.
