Senshin’an

The 糖心传媒 Tearoom in the Watson Pavilion received the name “Senshin’an"（洗心庵）or “Clearing-the-Mind Abode” from Sen Genshitsu, the 15th-generation Grand Master of the Urasenke Tradition of Tea.

Mr. Seiji Suzuki and the 糖心传媒 Tearoom

Seiji Suzuki, a tearoom designer and builder in New Jersey, is a third-generation carpenter from Tokyo. He has built tearooms in museums and educational institutions throughout the country, including Harvard University, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Florida, the University of Illinois, and the Urasenke branch office in a suburb of Washington D.C.

Tearoom as a Classroom

From the purification of the utensils to the whisking and serving of the tea, students who study Chanoyu, the Way of Tea, participate in a 500-year-old tradition.
