As a child, she used to learn calligraphy at a temple. Even though she hasn\u2019t practiced in years, the elegance of her brushstrokes showed how naturally the art still lives within her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also enjoyed a quiet moment with matcha and traditional sweets. We talked leisurely, surrounded by the calm atmosphere of our Japanese room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She mentioned that she once studied the tea ceremony \u2014 first in the <em>Omotesenke<\/em> school, and later <em>Urasenke<\/em> after moving. Now, she\u2019s considering joining a <em>Mushanokouji-senke<\/em> class nearby. Hearing that she often enjoys tea in her daily life, I felt truly honored when she said our matcha was delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are deeply grateful for this peaceful afternoon, filled with warmth, conversation, and the quiet elegance of \u201c\u611b\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns5261_0eeab6-ab{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns5261_0eeab6-ab .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns5261_0eeab6-ab\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn5261_e40a82-f6.kb-button{width:initial;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn5261_e40a82-f6 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/?page_id=3312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Explore What We Offer<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, we welcomed a lovely guest who created this &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[37,39,29,32,38],"class_list":["post-5261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-our-customers","tag-calligraphy","tag-culturalexperience","tag-matcha","tag-teaceremony","tag-tokyo"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5261"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5323,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5261\/revisions\/5323"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oh-mama.tokyo\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
