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.
