The Beauty of Cherry Blossoms and Noh Masks – Touring the Tenma district and appreciating Noh masks

We will make a small trip to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine during the Ume Festival, and trace the history of the Tenma district under the guidance of a priest of the shrine. You will see the history of Tenma and enjoy the lively shopping district, and the heart of Osaka’s spirit. After the tour, we return to the Choyo Kaikan, where masters from every Japanese traditional art gather, to enjoy a cup of maccha (Japanese green tea) made by a master of sa-do (Japanese tea ceremony) in a genuine tea room. After the tea ceremony, there will be a seminar regarding Noh masks, in which you can take a close look at and appreciate the different kinds of Noh masks. Those who wish can take a lecture on how to make a Noh walk with the mask on.
