The Hakone Foundation is proud to host the sixth HAKONE DAI CHAKAI on Sunday, October 1, 2006, at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, California. The Hakone Daichakai is one of the most important and enjoyable tea events in the greater bay area: important in that it brings together tea practitioners of different tea traditions and enjoyable in the beauty and suitability of its location and enthusiasm of its participants. The hope is that all who practice tea will desire to attend in order to share tea with their fellow practitioners at one of the few sites where this type of event is possible outside of Japan. This year those who practice Omotesenke, Urasenke, Mushanokoji and the Yabunouchi school will be hosting thin or thick tea at various garden sites. If you would like to participate by being a host at your own site please contact John Larissou, larissou@flash.net or 415-731-0622.
Anyone wishing to attend should PRE-REGISTER BY SEPTEMBER 23, 2006 by filling out the form below and sending it along with a check made out to Hakone Foundation for $45, per person attending, to Hakone Daichakai c/o John Larissou, 2651-25th Ave, San Francisco CA 94116-2904. Pre-registration is desirable as seats are pre-assigned and seating is limited. Of course preferences are honored if possible. Admission is to at least three tea sites and includes a small box lunch. Those not pre-registering may attend but seating is not guaranteed. Tickets will be distributed on the day of the event during the registration period.
