what up locals of the arizona persuasion!?
please come and join us in cultural celebration at the phoenix matsuri, (japanese cultural festival) next weekend
February 26th and 27th from 10am to 5 pm
don't know the phoenix matsuri? check out their website http://azmatsuri.org
among my favorite things to do there is gawp at the martial artists, gawp more at the dancers, and finish up the gawpiness with all the amazing hand made clothing.
then i like to get a bowl of some of the most heavenly fresh udon i have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth.
it's an amazing way to spend the weekend and admission is free.
Chado Urasenke Tankokai Arizona Association Inc. NPO will be providing Japanese Tea Ceremony Demonstrations throughout both days of the festival.
as far as i know at the moment we will be located directly downstairs from them. we are listed on the program as "parrot feathers ceramics"
we will be offering various kinds of tea ware as well as serving pieces, decorative pieces for the home, and vessels for ikebana.
it's going to be downright tea-tastic!
here is a very humble sampling of some of the items you will see, (sorry about the stickers in the cups-i wasn't thinking ahead about pictures when i put the tags on them).
n.p.
denki groove "shonen young"
