Several years ago, I was invited to Jesus College, University of Cambridge,
to give a talk on Japanese sencha culture and the literary salons of the Edo period.
Wonderful to host TSUKUDA Shio in Cambridge, @JesusCollegeCam today w/ @jpflondon. Heir to the Issa-an sencha tea school, Osaka, which inherits the salon culture of the literary figures of the Edo period, Shio mused on sencha, jigo and its importance in developing arts in Japan.
