SJA presents a tea ceremony and kimono dressing session with Hideko Uchiyama — a kimono instructor with a decade of tea ceremony experience.
Study Japanese in Arlington (SJA) is proud to present a traditional tea ceremony and kimono dressing session with Hideko Uchiyama — a kimono instructor with a decade of tea ceremony experience. This is an intimate in-person session for a maximum of 20 people per session to experience the beauty of Japanese culture up-close.
Additionally, the event will feature kimono, accessories, and tea ceremony-related items for sale by Arise Bazaar (Clinton, MD), with select proceeds going to supporting SJA's local fundraising efforts.
Don't miss out on this chance to learn from a master and enjoy a moment of peace and serenity in the midst of your busy day.

There will be two sessions held in the morning (10 am - 12 pm) and afternoon (2 - 4 pm) of Sunday, November 15th.
IMPORTANT, please note: There are 20 tea ceremony-only tickets ($20) and 5 combo tea/kimono tickets ($35) available per session.
Our instructor will dress you in a kimono over your own clothing. Please wear light, comfortable clothing and provide your clothing size in advance.
Anyone elementary school ages and up can participate in the demonstration; however, if the child is younger than the high school age, a parent/guardian will also need to sign up to accompany their child. We provide a few kids size kimonos for the children if they would like to sign up for the tea/kimono combo option and can gladly provide alternative beverages such as an apple juice or another alternative (upon request).
The event will take place in a private residence accessible (10~15 minute walk) by the Pentagon City Metro Station in Arlington, Virginia, with further address details to be sent to all registered attendees closer to the event date. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to email Juliana.Kogan@sjastudy.org for additional information.
