私と田島さんとのご縁
以前浅草で夫とカフェを営んでいた頃、季節に合わせたお茶を仕入れさせていただいていました。時にイベントを共催したり、お茶を美味しく淹れようとするのではなく、お茶に委ねるほうが良いという考えにも触れることができました。お店を営んでいたからこそ出会うことができた大好きな方です。つい先日中目黒でのお茶会にお邪魔した際、お風呂上がりのようなリラックス感に身を任せていると、ふと「個展会場でお茶を飲めたらどんなに面白いだろうか」という思いが浮かんできました。その日のうちに個展とのコラボを提案、おもしろそうだね！とご快諾いただき、今回こうして皆さまにご案内できるようになりました。
今度5月には、夫婦で静岡のお茶畑にお手伝いに伺う予定です｡今年11月の個展では、お茶畑がモチーフになった絵を描けるかもしれません！）

'The Paintings, The Tea and...' tea event🍵
I will hold a tea ceremony event, 'The Paintings, The Tea and...'. in my next exhibit in February.
The special tea master, Tajima san, will select several tea leaves that match the mood or theme of my paintings. (It'll be awesome!😉)
In the tea ceremony with Tajima san, we can usually enjoy the tea aroma before drinking it by using a special cup (for sniffing the scent). So, you could dive into a relaxing and unique mood different from the usual tea we drink casually from a mug.
No need to worry about the rules or if you're unfamiliar with the whole thing. The purpose of this event is to just enjoy a rare combination of paintings and tea. I'm super excited!
Why don't you leave all your difficulties behind, just let yourself flow with the special tea, and expand and release your mind broadly and freely!

NOTE: This event will be held in Japanese.
If you are unfamiliar with Japanese but are interested in joining this event, please get in touch with me in advance.
I think enjoying specially selected tea could still be a lovely moment, even in Japanese, but if you feel worried about it, I'd like to help you as much as I can.
During the event, I'll be in the same venue as the artist to entertain the visitors to look at my paintings. But when I am available, maybe I can support you in interpreting the tea ceremony.
■Tajima Yoshinobu Director of The Tea Company / Tea Master, Herbalist
Graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in Japan.
After working as a chef at a Japanese restaurant and being qualified as a Chinese herbalist, he became involved in activities to promote medicinal herbs and ran a tea store specializing in Chinese and Taiwanese teas in Hiroo, Tokyo. Fascinated by the depth and breadth of Chinese tea, he has made it his life's work to research Chinese tea culture and conducts seminars, product development, tea consulting for famous restaurants, and advocating food pairings. He also tours tea farms in Japan to explore the possibilities of Japanese tea.
■My connection with Tajima san
When my husband used to run a cafe with me in Asakusa, Tokyo, we would stock seasonal teas from Tajima san.
Sometimes we co-hosted events, and I was also exposed to his lovely ideas: "Tea tastes better when you're surrendering yourself to it rather than trying to brew it to taste good.” He is a wonderful person.
Recently, I visited his tea ceremony in Nakameguro, Tokyo. While immersing myself in his tea world, I thought, "How interesting it would be to drink his tea in my exhibit." So, right after the event, I proposed collaborating with him. He readily agreed, so I can now introduce him to you.
We are planning to visit his tea garden in Shizuoka in May. Then, either my exhibit in August or November, I may show you some pieces inspired by that experience.
