The Tsukimi (Moon-Viewing)

Join us for an evening of Ikebana and moon viewing. An Ikebana exhibition will be on display by the AJG Ikebana group.

Reiko Takahashi, an Ikenobo Ikebana instructor, will create “Tatehana”, the oldest style of the Ikenobo Ikebana School, as an offering to the Moon. Following this, Kimiko Gunji, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois will perform the Kencha tea ceremony, serving a bowl of tea to the moon.

Tea and special sweets will be served to all participants.

You can enjoy a Shakuhachi performance by Omar Francis while viewing the moon.

Professor Gunji has been a regular presenter and lecturer for the Anderson Japanese Garden since 2012. She has given season-by-season tea ceremony demonstrations, and various Japanese art-related workshops such as wagashi (Japanese sweet) making, kimono dressing, and Japanese cooking. She was a special presenter for the Regional North American Japanese Garden Association seminar, Kokoro and the Gardener: Health for Spirit, Body, and Community hosted by the Anderson Japanese Garden from August 4th through August 8th, 2022.
