Who Are We?

The Matsukaze Chanoyu Association is a group focused on the practice of the Japanese Tea Ceremony.  We are based at the beautiful Ozawa Pavilion at the Kurimoto Japanese Garden, one of the display gardens at the University of Alberta Botanic Garden.
​
This group was founded in January 1995 by a few people who were interested in learning tea ceremony together, in the authentic Japanese setting of the Ozawa Pavilion. “Matsukaze” means ‘wind in the pines’ – in the quiet of the tearoom, the sound of water in the kettle is similar to hearing wind in the pines.

Experience a Tea Ceremony for Yourself!

In 1999, the group began Tea Offerings for visitors of the Garden. This program continues each year, during the summer season (May – August), and is a unique opportunity for guests to participate in the sharing of Tea.

Introduction​

The tea ceremony requires years of training and practice... yet the whole of this art as to it's detail, signifies no more than the making and serving of a cup of tea. The supremely important matter is that the act be performed in the most perfect, most polite, most graceful, most charming manner possible.
- Lafcadio Hearn

We'd love to hear from you!
