Key points of this table setting

1. A Japanese Tea Party of Warmth and Sharing

At the heart of our tea party is the Japanese stoneware teacups, each awaiting to embrace your freshly brewed tea. In keeping with the authentic Japanese theme, we've adorned each setting with mini tatami mats, introducing a natural, earthy essence that is both welcoming and steeped in tradition. The tatami-like texture creates a serene and inviting ambiance, and the elegant confectionery box for sweets adds a sophisticated touch.

Next to the small plates adorned with Kaga mizuhiki designs is a magnificently crafted teapot from Kyoto's Tosen Kiln immediately capturing the eye with its hand-drawn tokusa motif and delicately handwoven handle.

As everyone enjoys their tea, and conversations unfold at the table, introduce other tea accompaniments prepared earlier to add even more zest to the lively chats. For the presentation of seasonal fruits, we feature a handcrafted kumiko serving tray. Its intricate geometrical patterns provide a stunning display of beauty with functionality.
