アマンダのちゃどう茶道のたいけん体験 Amanda’s Tea Ceremony Experience by Natalie Rees
The Tea Ceremony is one of the most famous aspects of Japanese culture, both within Japan and around the world, and is a tradition that dates back over 700 years. If you spend any length of time in Japan, it is likely you will have an opportunity to try it out, but in the meantime, experience the Tea Ceremony virtually through this dialog!
The dialog involves the following characters:
- アマンダ: Amanda, a visitor to Japan, staying with a host family
- おかあ母さん: the mother in her host family
- おとう父さん: the father in her host family
- ていしゅ亭主: the 'mastery of ceremonies' for the Tea Ceremony Amanda attends
