Tea gathering for sky god was held on 14 September 2015 in Berlin Germany. Theme of the event is localization of Japanese traditional culture such as tea ceremony, ikebana into Berliners but keep its originality and philosophy "impermanence", "ichigo ichie (一期一会)".
It was a spontaneous fun project. My friends and I organized an event at an abandoned Egyptian restaurant before it had been demolished.
Theme of its event is localization of Japanese traditional culture such as tea ceremony, ikebana into Berliners but keep its originality and philosophy "impermanence", "ichigo ichie (一期一会)".
We usually use a specific equipment to put branches up. However, I could not find it in Berlin therefore, I came up with the idea to use bananas instead of the equipment. Besides, this is the beginning of my plants hunting in Berlin. I picked all branches and leaves from Hasenheide park in front of the venue. We ate bananas after the event also used them for banana pancakes on the day next.
