About 100 guests, including new international students, Japanese students and other international researchers took part in the event.The Ito Guest House was completed in April, 2012. The tea ceremony was conducted in the Multi-Purpose Hall ‘s Japanese Room, which has a refreshing wooden decor. The Japanese Room was designed to be used as a teahouse, and this was actually the first event to be held here.It was the first tea ceremony experience for most of the guests as well, and they generally enjoyed the matcha (powdered green tea) and Japanese cakes. Some even remarked that they would like to study Japanese tea ceremony. As students and researchers are usually very busy, they do not have many opportunities to experience Japanese traditional culture. Many of them seemed pleased to be able to experience the tea ceremony in a familiar campus environment, and to be able to spend time with people whom they have few opportunities to meet during the course of their academic life.27Kyudai News No.24TopicsKYUDAI NEWS No. 24Topics 6Topics 7From left to right: President Arikawa, Mr. Shesterikov and Vice President and Distinguished Professor ItohThe 8th Itoh Project Prize Winner (2012)Welcoming Tea Ceremony for International StudentsWaiting tea while listening to an instruction about teaTea ceremony experience in a traditional Japanese room
