Japanese Calligraphy: 茶 Cha (Tea)

Monday, May 16, 2:00pm - 3:00pm (EDT)

Time shown in-05:00 America, New York

We will finalise our spring season with the last calligraphy session and the character 茶 Cha (Tea). Early May is the time to harvest tea leaves. Around 2nd of May is Hachi Ju Hachi Ya - the 88th day from the first spring day according to the traditional Japanese calendar, marking the transition to the new season when the plants and flowers start sprouting and that includes tea leaves. This is the date when new tea leaves are harvested to make the finest grade Matcha tea. It is a ceremonial event and it is believed that drinking tea buds picked on the eighty eight day will bring all the energy contained in the new tea leaves for longevity. There is an old saying: 'The tea leaves harvested on Hachi ju Hachi ya will keep us away from illness and give us a long life.'
