Mindfulness experience to calm your mind down with calligraphy "Matchasho®" surrounded by the aroma of powdered green tea, and high-class tea "Asahina Gyokuro"

This Asahina area is one of the three major production areas of gyokuro, along with Uji in Kyoto and Yame in Fukuoka. At this famous tea production area, you write with your heart while being comfortably wrapped in the faint aroma of powdered green tea. You can enjoy special experience with Matchasho®, which uses powdered green tea instead of India ink. You will be taught how to hold a brush and how to use it by the calligrapher Shoran, who is based in Shizuoka City and active worldwide, and practice basic techniques of calligraphy. After experiencing Matchasho®, drink the high-class tea “Asahina Gyokuro” to refresh your mind.

Features

  • This is a new experience of tea and Japanese culture unique to Shizuoka, the best tea production area in Japan.
  • The powdered green tea used is not tea processed for calligraphy, but edible tea. It is organic powdered green tea produced in a tea field in Suruga. Unused tea that is not fit for sale is brewed in the same way as when you drink it, and a brush is dipped in it.
  • It comes with a kit that enables you to do Matchasho® at home.
