Coffee Festival at Sutherland
10 August, 2014 (Sunday)
On Sunday we gave chado demonstrations at the Sutherland Coffee Festival. There were many food and coffee stalls in a park. We set up misono-dana in the Japanese garden that Sutherland sister city’s Chuo-ku donated. It was a warm day and many people turned up.
We demonstrated with Misono-dana, and many people interested to see Japanese Tea Ceremony performance and listened the explanation of the Tea ceremony history with background of Japanese Culture.

The Chado demonstration was performed with background music called “Chaondo” played and sung by the Koto and Shamisen players.

Members Chakai at Ryokan Gojyuan
Tankokai Sydney Association had its very first Members’ Chakai on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at Ryokan Gojyuan.
Gojyuan is located on the vibrant main street of Balmain, an inner west suburb of Sydney. Once you step through the front door, you feel as if you are in Japan. Beyond the nice sized lobby area, there is a walkway overlooking a Japanese garden with a carp pond leads to two eight-mat guest rooms and a bathhouse.
