Hatsugama
The First Tea of the New Year
2023 is the Year of the
Rabbit, the fourth sign of the zodiac.
The tearoom in early January is a marvelous environment. Auspicious
decorations accompany these gatherings that reflect the zodiac sign of the
rabbit and the emperor's poetic theme, 友 (tomo, friend).
