Closing this Sundayâœ¨ Iâ€™m honored and grateful to be in this exhibition Material Witness, curated by @norton_william at Williamsburg Art and Historical Center. Please witness this special tea ceremony event this Sunday, I will be in Japan but my spirit will be there withâ–¡â–¡ . This Sunday, October 13, from 4-6 PM at the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center at 135 Broadway, corner of Bedford Avenue, for the Closing of â€œ MATERIAL WITNESSâ€, Tea Master Yoshitsugu Nagano will present a Tea Ceremony. In its 800 year history in Japan the Tea Ceremony has been considered another branch of the higher art forms, analogous to painting, music, dance, sculpture. Through its exposure to Zen Buddhism and Christianity it has continually evolved as an art, its nature deeply rooted in spirituality and religiosity. In this modern era, where art has transformed itself into an expression of individuality and intellectualism, the Tea Ceremony has remained true to its historical roots, a profoundly spiritual and meditative art form. . Through this Tea Ceremony to take place at the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center on October 13, between 4-6 pm, he would like to introduce and demonstrate the ceremonial form known as a â€œkoicha,â€ which is said to have been influenced by a form of the Christian mass 400 years ago. Please enjoy this special world created by the interaction between Japan and the West that originated in the Middle Age.
