Commemorate the 80 year relationship between the Raymond and the Nakashima families in a carefully curated tea ceremony on Sunday, November 19, 2:30pm-4:00pm. Mira Nakashima and Charlotte Raymond will be on hand to welcome you at the Guesthouse, at the Nakashima Woodworkers, in New Hope, PA. A tea master of the Urasenke Tea School, will conduct the ceremony of select teas and sweets in the George Nakashima designed tearoom which will be graced with specially arranged ikebana.

The ceremony itself will feature a curated selection of Dōgu (tea implements and utensils), Kakejiku (the Japanese scroll painting or calligraphy that is to be contemplated during the ceremony), and pottery selected from the Nakashima's and Urasenke tea school's private collections. The tea itself will be heated by Sumidemae, the special charcoal-fire procedure that takes 5 days for which to prepare.
