Further Information:
1. Gyotei are Urasenke instructors trained in the Urasenke household.
They strive to preserve the Urasenke Chado tradition through strict
practice and passing the tradition down from generation to generation.
Gyotei teach all over Japan and Tankokai Associations abroad. This
will be their first visit in the UK.
2. This Special Koshukai is as the same as training at the Oiemoto’s
household. We are planning to have 3 to 4 students chosen to receive
guidance from the Gyotei. The other students will observe keiko.
3. The Gyotei lecture’s subject will be decided by the Gyotei taking
in account the students suggestions.
4. For the 19 September Gyo-no-Gyo keiko, please wear montsuki, hakama
or jyutoku.
