Week of 4-14-2013, just pictures including the Awa Odori Clock


Yaezakura in bloom now, beautiful!

 



 The Awa Odori Clock that is downtown.  It opens 4 or 5 times a day and plays the Awa Odori song while the dolls dance.










Look at that looooong branch that comes
from the tree on the right and goes
across the entryway!


Kind of a spooky, yet beautiful tree.


I'm back to trying to taste as many
different drinks as possible.  The variety
is endless.


And chocolate for good measure and because
I won't be able to take any home in

the summer...

These are laquer containers for matcha,
the powdered tea used in the tea ceremony.
A salesman brought them by my teacher's
house this week.  They're beautiful!

This is an incense holder.

These are used to take the tea out of the container
and put it into the bowl.

Trays for the sweets that are always served with tea.

Some tea bowls that are made from a very
light weight wood.  New.

Silver isn't usually used.  Traditional designs
given a modern twist.

Incense holders.
