Shofukan

Senshin-an embodied the spirit of Shofukan: to participate in a tea ceremony with real matcha, following the authentic traditions of the Urasenke school.

We donated our Japanese teahouse to our tea friends in Paris. Last year, during our twentieth anniversary celebration, they gave a wonderful demonstration of sencha tea ceremony.

A group of specialized carpenters from France, who also helped rebuild the stairs of Notre-Dame, came to Rotterdam to dismantle the teahouse.

All the people and businesses who contributed to the project in 2012 will be invited to visit Senshin-an in Paris once it is ready.

At our new location in Sweden, we will build a small teahouse in the woods fitting for the contemplative atmosphere of tea practice.

Have you ever attended a tea ceremony at Shofukan or in Japan?
