This was the first JAPAN FOCUS I participated in and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to experience a tea ceremony first-hand. Okamoto-san patiently explained the history and process of the tea ceremony to us, and her enthusiasm for the topic was infectious. Uta Heil

始めてジャパン・フォーカスに参加しましたが、お茶会も初めての経験で、心の底から楽しむことができました。岡本さんは懇切丁寧に茶道の歴史やお茶会の流れなどを説明してくださり、またそのお茶に愛する心に感銘しました。ウタ・ヘイル(39)

Life in London has been stressful this year, due to the political problems, the terrorism and the fire. So it was a great pleasure to relax and enjoy the ceremony with our Japanese friends. It reminded me that simple things, like tea and taking time to be quiet with other people, are important." Duncan Bartlett (50)
今年はイギリスの政治的な問題やテロによる攻撃、ロンドンでの高層住宅の火事などにより皆ストレスの多い生活を送っています。ですので、このタイミングで日本語学習者のメンバーと一緒にお茶会に参加でき、心からリラックスでき、本当に良かったです。お茶を飲むこと、静かにいることといったシンプルなことの大切さを再認識させられました。ダンカン・バートレット(50)

Ms Okamoto provided an enjoyable insight into the calming and meditative qualities of Japanese tea ceremony. The discipline in movement and the sound made when for instance; pouring the water into the bowl or stirring the tea before serving all adds to the tranquility. Apparently, when Samurai gathered for such an occasion it was a time to talk politics - my experience was far more Zen!  Tony Wilson 34
岡本さんはお茶会においての心の落ち着きと安定について説明をしてくださり、とても興味深かったです。お湯を注ぐときの音やお茶をたてるときの動作や音などによって静寂さが感じられることなどを学び、最高の経験になりました。トニー・ウィルソン(34)

Arai Academy の JAPAN FOCUS というイベントでいろいろなトピックがありました。今年は茶道について習いました。小さいグループで茶道の平静とシンプルさについてよくわかりました。茶道の先生の説明はとてもよかったので、本当におもしろい経験だったと思います。ウリ(37)

This was the first time I participated in a Japanese tea ceremony, and it was a revelation. I only now understand that the tea ceremony addresses all our senses, and that they are in perfect harmony. I was particularly moved by the sounds of the water and the whisk in between moments of silence. Herman Deetman, 49
生まれて初めてお茶会に参加しましたが、啓示の一言です。今回初めてお茶会というのは私たちの五感とその空間の調和であることを知りました。特に静寂の中でのお湯を注ぐときの音、お茶をたてるときの音の美しさに感動しました。ハーマン・ディートマン(49)

Arai Academy's Japan Focus has been an incredible way for me to remain connected to my Japanese roots (being half Japanese) and to have the opportunity to immerse myself in meaningful cultural experiences. Arai Academy not only emphasizes speaking and writing, but digs deeper, teaching day to day interactions, psychology, body language and cultural norms which the language is so intricately tied to.  It has been life changing for me. -Mica Shibata, 37
新井アカデミーのジャパン・フォーカスのイベントは日本人のハーフの私にとって深く日本文化を感じ、体験できるとてもいい機会です。日本語の勉強のみならず、日常生活での日本人とのかかわり方や日本人の考え方、しぐさや日本語表現における文化的背景なども学べます。人生感が変わりました。ミカ・シバタ (37)
