Tea Wedding Ceremony
茶婚式について
茶婚式とは・・・
茶の湯の精神にのっとって行なわれる婚礼のことです。「和敬清寂」は、お互いが心より和し敬い合い、清らかな気持ちで会し、寂然不動の心を持つことを説いています。当家は武家屋敷であり、歴史的風致形成建造物、金沢市指定建造物となっています。また、松濤庭にある折鶴の松は、金沢市指定保存樹木として五百年の樹齢を重ねてきました。新郎新婦と親族、友人が一同に茶室という空間に会すことで、晴れの日の門出に相応しい貴重な時間として心に刻まれることを願っております。
What is a Tea Marriage Ceremony?
It is a wedding performed in the
spirit of the Way of Tea. The well-known phrase “Wa Kei Sei Jaku” is
like a mantra that serves to harmonize and bring together kindred souls
with a freshness of spirit. This phrase teaches us to honor “harmony,
respect, purity and tranquility” and cultivate a spirit of unwavering
tranquility.
Our house is a samurai residence, which as a historically
designated architectural structure, is recognized by the city of
Kanazawa. An ancient 500-year-old red pine tree, named “Orizuru no
matsu,” (the name refers to the folded origami crane), grows in the
garden known as “Shoutoutei.” It has been recognized as a Kanazawa
landmark.
Celebrating the coming together of bride and groom in the Way of
Tea, we hope that spending this special moment in the tearoom on this
auspicious day, which marks the beginning of a long journey, will become
an unforgettable experience that remains forever in the hearts of family
and friends and will bring much happiness to the new couple.
