Day 19. I found the little bags for the tea in the tea ceremony at a very special beta shop with tea bowls and other supplies. I am thrilled to have 3. It is interesting to me how they are made. I also learned how to tie the cord.
The tea shop. It is well known and does web orders. The name is Sazen.
We went to the Dazaifu temple where the children of certain ages were honored or prayed for. Lots of kids getting there outfits put together by parents.
A glimpse of the crowds at the temple.
A huge chrysanthemum exhibit at the shrine. Types I’ve never seen. A good day.
I don’t think you need that green bag. I’d be glad to take it off your hands.
It’s wonderful to experience Japan vicariously! I am so glad you are having fun.
