Lecture "Features of the reconstruction of Japanese medieval tea drinking. Legends. Stories. Historical figures."
Japanese tea ceremony through the eyes of a re-enactor, i.e. a person trying to recreate the action in the form in which it was carried out in antiquity.
At this meeting, we will talk about some significant points that distinguish modern tea from the ancient one: what influenced and determined the order of brewing, what was the daily routine of the tea master, why the Cha-no-ato tradition disappeared, and so on.
Let's talk about some legends and historical figures: why Toyotomi Hideshi sat in a tokonoma and forbade grinding tea before his arrival, how the magical bird Kecho is associated with the tea ceremony, and much more.
Presenter:
Elena Shuvarina is a graduate of the Tea Culture Club in the Hermitage Garden in 2010, the owner of the Etnika Tea House (Astrakhan), a qualifying round finalist and participant in the final Moscow competition Tea Masters Cup 2018, an active member of the Historical Reconstruction Club "Samurai Shimazu" and a large number of international reenactment festivals from Novosibirsk to St. Petersburg.

Lecture "Japanese tea utensils and connection with Chinese tradition. A reenactor's view of the ancient action"
Questions of tea utensils are of particular interest, because they determine the entire course of the tea ceremony. Consider the mathematics and geometry of the arrangement of tea utensils.
Let's talk about tenmoku bowls, how they came from China and how they were gradually replaced by Japanese-made utensils, but not only about them, but also about tea. Why is it piled up in a “hill” in a tyair, who is the “last guest” and how is he connected with tea producers, etc.

School of Go
Go is the oldest strategy game that originated in China over 5,000 years ago. In those days, it was a game exclusively of the aristocracy and military leaders, since the peasant people could not comprehend the full depth of its philosophy.
Today, Go is an international sport with many tournaments in Russia and other countries around the world. The rules of the game have remained unchanged to this day. Even a child can master them in a few minutes, when it takes years and an experienced sensei to achieve high mastery.
The course is suitable for both beginners and experienced participants!
