She will perform the Ōbaku Baisa-Ryū tea ceremony, originating from Manpukuji Temple on Mt Obaku in Uji, Kyoto. This school of sencha tea ceremony continues the legacy of tea master Baisa Ou's exquisite tea traditions. Through the practice of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Ōbaku Baisa-Ryū), Haruka seeks to discover and acknowledge aesthetic and sacred moments in daily life that elevate our spirits. She follows ancient techniques to craft her own tableware, using clay from the Ijssel River in the Netherlands for teapots and ash from conifer park trees for glazing. Her techniques for making teapots and wooden moulds were passed down by an esteemed Japanese ceramics master.
