Geidai Tea Ceremony
In October, the Geidai Tea Ceremony was held. This tea ceremony was organized to reflect Japanese traditional culture through the "Cha no yu" (tea ceremony) and to seek a new road of art education and artistic expression. In the Geidai room, a tea set created by the faculty of TOKYO GEIJUTSU DAIGAKU was used. In addition to this, a grand tea master room was created. In this room, each of the four major grand tea masters representing Japan played the role of a tea room master for one day. Thus, the Geidai Tea Ceremony became a splendid event.
The Masaki Memorial Gallery with its pure Shoin-style (Buddhist monastery style) Japanese construction was used as the grand tea master room. Each grand tea master added variety to the tea ceremony in the hall, which was decorated with the works of previous instructors such as the Fusuma-e (sliding-door paintings) drawn by Gaho Hashimoto, the door handle created by Hotsuma Katori, and the ranma (artistic and decorative ceiling transom in traditional Japanese buildings) created by Koun Takamura. In addition, the Geidai Tea Ceremony Club was in charge of the Geidai room set up in the Chinretsukan Gallery of the university museum for four entire days. Each day approximately 600 attendees with their own distinct dress brilliantly showcased the Ueno forest.
