Hatsugama: The First Tea Ceremony in the New Year

The first class in the new year is usually not a normal class but rather a special tea ceremony called hastugama - meaning the first kettle.

Before we started, everyone got some kind of citrus tea for a good digestion. Than the highest Monk visited us and said a fee words to everyone. This is probably a bit special because I’m going to tea ceremony lesson at a temple.

This year, we all joined one big tea room which was really nice, since we are usually split into two rooms. Before we started we rinsed our hands and mouth at the tsukubai, a water basin, in the garden. Because the water was quite cold, there was also a wooden bucket with hot/warm water. This water was only used to rinse your mouth though. After we entered the tea room, one student prepared the coals and afterwards served koicha. Like last year, we used a set of two special chawan.

They are kind of red/orange on the outside and inside one of them is silver and the other one gold.

The temae will bring both chawan stacked over one another into the tea room. Therefore the silver one is slightly bigger and especially wider than the golden one.

The golden one is used first and can serve up to 4 people. The silver one can serve up to 5 people.

We have been around 15 people. So even though these chawan can serve 9 people in total, the hanto still had to bring two additional chawan from the mizuya.

We also had a look at the lits of the utensil boxes. In this way you can learn even more about the utensils and their origin. One of the additonal tea bowls has a close connection to the shichifukujin (The Seven Gods of Fortune). They are symbol for the new year, so it is best to use this chawan around this time.

After the koicha ceremony was done, we split into groups of 6 people and joined an usucha ceremony as well. For this one we went into a much smaller and very special tea room. This one is heavily inspired by Sen no Rikyu’s tea room, yet the layout is a bit different. The atmosphere was special and it made me feel close with everyone. It was my first time to enter this tea room.

Usually you also have a kaiseki meal at a hatsugama ceremony. But at my classes we skip the meal and everyone gets a bento to take home.

Oh and I enjoyed my time so much that I just took no pictures besides the two you can see above.

Have you ever attended a Japanese tea ceremony?

Shikataro is doing his best to prepare a delicious cup of matcha for you 🍵💚

Some people here might already know that tea ceremony is a long time hobby of mine (yet I am still an intermediate learner due to long breaks) if you ever have the chance to visit a tea ceremony or a tea ceremony presentation in your area, I can highly recommend visiting it. It is very relaxing to watch and delicious too 😋🍡🍵

Tomorrow I will attend hatsugama chaji, which is the first tea ceremony in the new year and I am very much looking forward to it!

初釜 HatsuGama . 無事是貴人 ぶじこれきにん 「無事是貴人，但莫造作，只是平常。」臨済禅師 . 「無事」という言葉から、「平穏無事で何事もないのが一番」という意味合いに取られることも多いのですが、じつはここで言う「無事」とは、そいう意味ではありません。 . 禅語:- また財産や名誉をあくせく求めるなという表面的な戒めとも違います。 「無事」とはいわば、求めなくてもよいことに気づいた安らぎの境地といえます。 #禅語 #初釜 #茶道 #万代屋釜 #無事是貴人 #HatsuGama #Zengo #もずやがま https://www.instagram.com/p/B678FVOBbLr/?igshid=1gvwj1n6y0v3w

day 12: Philadelphia Hatsugama フィラデルフィアの初釜

今日の和菓子: 花びら餅 正月を迎えたことを祝い、新年に初めて釜をかける初釜。平成最���の成人の日に、平成最後となる初釜茶事を無事終えることができました。人様にお菓子をお出しするのは何回やっても緊張しますが、良い機会を与えてくださった先生に感謝。個人的に白味噌が入った花びら餅の餡がとても好きなので、お正月限定の和菓子というのが惜しいですが… Today’s Wagashi: Flower Petal(Hanabira Mochi) I’m glad to tell everyone that our first tea ceremony of the year (Hatsugama) went well. This will be the last Hatsugama of the Heisei Period. I was in charge of creating Hanabira mochi; the special Haoanese confectionary for this ceremony. Each element of the Hanabira Mochi is significant. The red colour showing through the white mochi is not only appropriate to the celebration of the new year, but also signifies the Japanese apricot/plum (ume) blossom, which in turn represents purity, perseverance, and renewal associated with New Year. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso9czThQiH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzx58d32insy

I had a very nice week of tea: 

Monday was Hatsugama (first tea ceremony of the new year, so you bring out the nice stuff with gold and silver and something to represent the animal of the new year, hence the boar motif on the sweet). 

Thursday I checked out a Chinese tea shop with many nice choices, I had an oolong and a pu’er while I sat around and read manga. 

Sunday was a Victorian style tea party with friends. We were so noisy, it was fun. XD

本日素焼き🔥予定 「かさまつなぐ」とか、試行錯誤だけど、コロナが終息迎えたら、笠間に（笠間の陶炎祭 や陶と暮らしや初窯市とか）来てほしいなという気持ちも大きいです。 「つなぐ」って言葉は人を繋ぐのもあるけど、笠間に繋ぐの意味もあるかな。 器だって、実際見て買ってもらえればそれが嬉しいんです本当はね。 今年のGWは @kasama_tsunagu で楽しく踏ん張る、そして、「終息したら」是非笠間に遊びに来てね🙂 @himatsuri.kasama @toutokurashi @hatsugama なんとなく��の一考 #小堤晶子　#ozfactory 　#かさまつなぐ　#つなぐについて考えた https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0Or5aF77d/?igshid=1qw0eeddi4oxr

Happy New Year!!

I hope you had a good start into the year of the dragon 🐉

I’m a bit late. Not only with new years wishes but also with a lot of blog posts I wanted to write! So here’s a little preview of what’s coming in the next time:

First and foremost I’ll write about the tea party in December!

I’m still working on at least one blog post related to my Kyoto trip in November. I’m still processing this trip a lot myself.

Instead of the first lesson in the new year, we usually do hatsugama - the first tea ceremony in the new year.

I’ll also attend another tea ceremony in January. This one is not related to my school and I’m really excited for it.

Let’s have a great 2024! 😌

🎍茶道　初釜🎍 Teaceremony Hatsugama 今日は、先日参加した初釜の写真をお届け🎵(🇩🇪写真はまた今度👍) 初釜とは、年が明けて最初に行われる茶会のことです。 初日の出や書き初めなど、新年最初のものは特別な意味を持ちますが、茶道においては初釜がこれにあたり、とても大切な行事とされています。 今回、初釜で出されたお菓子は、花びら餅と干支のふ菓子🐭、結び飴。 花びら餅は、甘く煮たゴボウと白みその餡に赤く染めたひし形の薄い餅を乗せ、白餅で包んだお菓子です。 わたしの習っている裏千家では、初釜とえば花びら餅！ ですが、表千家では「常盤饅頭（ときわまんじゅう）」が定番のようです。 どちらもこの時期だけのお菓子ですので、ご興味あるかたは、和菓子やさんをのぞいてみてくださいね🍵 この週末や今月は、各地で初釜が開催されているでしょう。 この連休、旅先やお出掛け先で、お茶体験されると、もしかしたら今日紹介したお菓子をいただけるかもしれませんね😋 非日常の時間、空間。 人と触れ合い、 おもてなしの心を感じ、 心穏やかな一時。 ときに、新しい出会いやその心意気、趣深さにわくわくと心踊らされる。 わたしにとって、茶道は旅と似たような感覚を与えてくれるものです😌💓 週末まで少し早いですが、素敵な連休をお過ごしください。 Today, I will send you a picture of 初釜 (Hatsugama). Hatsugama is the first tea ceremony held at the beginning of the year. In the tea ceremony, it is a very important event. Today's sweets are Hana-bira-mochi,Zodiac confectionery and knotted candy. Hana-bira-mochi are wrapped in white rice cakes. There is a sweet-boiled burdock ,white miso jam,and red rice cake inside. If you experience tea during the consecutive holidays, you may be able to eat the sweets introduced today. For me, tea ceremony gives me a similar feeling to traveling. "It is a little early until the weekend, but I hope you have a wonderful consecutive holiday." +・+・+・+・+・+・+・+・+・+ ♕Yumi's Instagram♕ @yumi.tabinotane 日本、世界の旅情報をお届け♪ +・+・+・+・+・+・+・+・+・+ #初釜 #茶道裏千家 #茶道女子 #ootd #花びら餅 #和菓子 #kimonogirl #着物 #茶道 #japanesegirl #teaceremonyladys #着物でお出かけ #japanculture #日本を感じる #japan_photo #kimono #kimonostyle #東京女子部 #タビジョ #旅好きな人と繋がりたい #写真好きな人と繋がりたい #和が好きな人と繋がりたい #travelphoto #retrip_japan #Snaplace #たびのたね #旅のたね #毎日が笑顔で溢れてる #sagojoinsta #世界のカラフル https://www.instagram.com/p/B7GZt7wJGCW/?igshid=1g7t2fijl2bp5

В конце января, 30.01, я поучаствовала онлайн в Празднике Первой Чайной Чашки - ХАЦУГАМА Я присоединилась к чайному действу, когда гостей угощали чаем усутя (это легкий, вернее, жидкий чай матча) В этом году Прпздник первой чашки чая прошёл в кругу нашей чайной группы. Когда происходит подобное мероприятие в чайной группе среди нас, участников, сэмпаев (старших наставников) и кохаев (младших учеников), добровольно распределяются ‘обязанности’. А потом меняемся ‘ролями’. Кто-то приходит как гость, кто-то организовывает внутреннее пространство и выступает в ‘роли’ хозяина и помощников хозяина Кто-то оттачивает мастерство в приготовлении блюд высокой японской кухни КАЙСЭКИ-РЁРИ. В этом году , благодаря моим друзьям-коллегам @zlatanefedova и других я поучаствовала и в хайкене - осмотре чайной утвари. #hatsugama #хацугама #матча #маття #чай #чайнаяцеремония #чаною #чадо #чаепитие #matcha #matchatea #tea #teaceremony #chanoyu #chado #chawan #raku #natsume #ujc #chanoyu_ukraine #victoria #япония #японія #japan https://www.instagram.com/p/CK09NzagC2g/?igshid=6jv3xvmxq977
