As a Kanazawa local for over 20 years and a certified tea ceremony instructor with multiple Urasenke licenses, Tomomi is deeply passionate about sharing the rich history and culture of Kanazawa’s tea ceremony with visitors from around the world. Once the bustling castle town of the Kaga Domain under the Maeda Clan during the Edo period, Kanazawa has long been a hub for traditional Japanese arts and crafts. In her lessons, Tomomi offers more than a tea ceremony—she provides an immersive experience of the Wabi Sabi philosophy, reflected in every detail, from locally crafted tea utensils and pottery to the serene tea rooms and gardens. Her greatest hope is to create a truly authentic and unforgettable memory for each guest.
