Hello! I'm Umi-Kuun!
I'm Mio Masui, Mio-Mio is my nickname
We are now at Ginza
There is the composite school of "WA (Japan)" to learn Japanese way of thinking from various respects here in Ginza
At once, let's go there!
They are heading for a Japanese composite school in Ginza,
which is a shopping district for mostly high-end products, hence is very popular for foreign tourists
Hello!
Nice to meet you! Thank you in advance!
Could you tell us what to do here?
This school has four departments of Kimono costume, Tea ceremony, Calligraphy and Art of sword drawing
By way of trainning of Japanese culture,
they are to learn the virtue of Japan and Japanese ways of thinking
Here, HiSUi TOKYO was opended in 2014,
the considerably professional Japanese culture can be learned in a short period of time
Before being trained by a teacher, the two were asked to have change their clothes
I've changed the clothes!
What do you think?
I wear a divided skirt (Hakama)
I feel I become tense!
All right, let's call Mio-Mio san
Mio-Mio!!
Ha-ai! Jya-jyan!
Very cute!
It's deemed to change your hair-color for today
Your hair color perfectly fits your Kimono.That's right!
A professional "Kitsukeshi", wearer of Wafuku (Kimono) teaches the method for dressing Kimono to them
What do you think?
If I consider you before my eyes in a comprehensively way, I feel it's captivating!
Very well-matched I think! Umi-Kuun, you, too!
Your masuculinity comes out very well
I was round shouldered until a few minutes ago
I've heard you were often told "Getting a hold of yourself" from the teacher
I'll see to it! Let's do it properly!
Let's start with Tea Ceremony
At first, they learn Tea Ceremony
Tea Ceremony was established in the Edo era to learn the manners about how to enjoy "Maccha (Powdered green tea)"
There are a lot of detailed rules
How much do they know the rule ?
Please take care of us!
Please sit down! Thank you. Nice to meet you!
I am very glad that you have come
This is Ms. Suzuki, a teacher responsible for Tea Ceremony
Immediately,
I'd like to correct your manner when you've entered this room
There were some problems in their manners when they entered the Tea-Ceremony Room
What's wrong with that?
The teacher sets a good example for them
Open a paper sliding door like this while sitting, and enter the tea-ceremony room
then, turn around to close the door
and then sit there
I entered this room with leaving a door open
I entered the room while standing to open the door
With fear of unfavorable development,
Mio-Mio who has learned the Tea Ceremony at a school,
is challenging the manner while inviting guests
She can manage these tools, can't she?
What if inside of that?
What's this?
I don't know. This is a container of water
It's wet!
Do with this!
What's this?
Where do I put it?
Furthermore,
Ho!!
When she tried to touch a piping hot kettle with bare hands
The teacher unintentionally gave her a helping hand
I must not mind your own business, though, it's too hot!
With pull herself together, she put a teaspoonful powdered green tea in a tea bowl
Without any hesitation,
With holding a tea bowl by bare hand, and poured directly hot water into the tea bowl
Ah, ha, ha, ha!
The teacher is fully occupied in suppressing her laughter
Some tea put on the dipper
The teacher burst int laughter while looking at the Mio-Mio's manner to serve Japanese tea
The prepared Japanese tea is not bubbled yet, but it has finished with this
I did it!
This is your first experience to make some tea in real earnest, so
you slightly got nervous
Without conforming to the rules of manners in Tea Ceremony
I'll give you only a zero to your performance. A Zero point!
It's nothing!
There is no way. The manners of Tea Ceremony that Mio-Mio learned at a school was rated "Zero"
If the teacher lists up no-good manners for Mio-Mio, there's no end to them
but, the reason why the powdered tea could not form bubbles at all,
is due to the amount of powdered tea being put into a tea bowl
Since the trace of a bamboo teaspoon is remained only here in the powdered green tea,
meaning that an exceedingly small amount of the tea powder was put in a tea bowl
How much the tea powder should I put in a tea bowl?
Normally, about two and a half spoons of powdered tea for well forming bubble
Very great in quantity!
Scoop up with the bamboo spoon about this amount and put it into the bowl
What is more, hot water is scooped by a dipper and brought it toward the bowl
Should not hold the bowl in the hand
It's much better to pour the hot water from the rim of the tea bowl by a whisker
This much
With pushing the bowl, and remove the powder putting around the bowl, and pouring hot water onto the powdered tea
You must not turn a bamboo tea whisk round, but must move it up and down
Became bubbly! I've got it!
Compared to the tea made by a teacher,
the difference is quite obvious , there is a great difference in quality between them
Umi-Kuun is challenging to the role of being in charge of an invited guest for Tea Ceremony
First of all, look at the tea bowl,
Even though I think it'll partially ticklish, I had better praise it as "Very Nice Bowl"
After saying in that way,
With let myelf go a little bit,
then, I turn the bowl round on my palm
and drink it
Great! Very tasty!
You made good in some manners, but you are all thumbs in others
How many points would you give me out of a hundred?
50 points!
One half of your manners is good!
They are learning about how to drink tea proprietly
Let's pick a bowl up
At first, why not show your gratitude
Towards everything on Earth
Let's acknowledge towards your own existence in the world, and
Not turning it round unintentionally
It's because I'm not well-qualified person to be given it from the front,
that means to deprecate yourself
Hold it with your right hand, turn it slightly to avoid the front face of the bowl to drink
At any rate, it's important to avoid the front face of the bowl
I've got it!
It's very important to drink the tea with avoiding the front face of the bowl
The training of Tea ceremony has finished in about two hours
Next, what's the subject to teach us?
Art of sword drawing!
Succesively, they teach the two the art of sword drawing
The sword drawing is that they unsheathe a sword from a scabbard and
quickly cut something by a sword
Can they cut it like this in a proficient manner?
It's an authentic sword!
Yes, it is!
From now, we can have a teacher teach us this, can't we?
Immediately, they started trainning
First of all, the two are going into training about how to cut something by using Mogito (practice sword), which
makes its shape and weight resemble a genuine sword
One step ahead of your right foot
art of drawing my sword, all right!
Let's draw a sword slowly
Now, let's do it!
and a right hand is the front, and a left hand is back
Just as it is,
quickly swing the sword up over your head
A little bit higher
Have raised the sword high enough?
Swing the point of sword downward slowly until your belly button
Swing downward slowly
They continued practing it for about 30 minutes using practice sword
This is a genuine Japanese sword. Why not hold it?
It's heavy, isn't it?
They are challenging to try out by using a genuine sword
on soaked straw target
The first challenger is Umi-Kuun
Can he show the benefits of practice?
Yes, please
Very good!
He was successful in swing the sword downward vibrantly
Thank you very much!
Marvellous!
When I cut it, I was too absorbed in my exercise
I remember nothing!
As if I was in another world
This is the first time for Mio-Mio to touch a genuine sword
Swing the sword up over your head
Let's swing the sword downward with all your strength,
That's amazing, Princess!!
Mio-Mio will in no way beiieve the sharpness of the sword!
A teacher, thank you so much for today
You've done very good job! Really?
By way of today's experience of Tea Ceremony and Drawing sword,
We'll greatly appreciate if you can understand Japanese ways of thinking much better than before,
Why not transfer that for the world
We expect that very much
Thank you very much in advance!
Thank you very much for today
We believe you are able to have a very good experience
