Lesson Blog December 27th, 2025

The surface of the Shoraian garden pond rippled, revealing a white carp. It vanished slowly beneath the stone bridge.

Today marks the final lesson of the year. The gentle sound of the kettle's boiling water echoes quietly, as if lamenting the passing year.

The flowers in the alcove are Japanese Wild Chrysanthemum and Otafukunanten.

For sweets, prepared "Toraya Manju (steamed buns)" (Toraya Confectionary Co., Ltd) .

Thank you for your support this year. Wishing you a wonderful New Year.
