Traditional Japanese tea ceremony with little Sayaka, Emi-chan and Kimie, my friend.. There's this special way to prepare the special tea, perfect temperature of the water, perfect way to sit, and serve people the "honorable" tea. The woman in the kimono is Kimie's mother. She is skilled in tea ceremony, ikebana (Japanese floral arrangement) and many other traditional Japanese arts. The woman in the background is one of her students. She was so sweet, she gave us some real fine tea and a small "sensu" (folding fan).
