My brother and my friend left Tokyo and Japan with a beautiful last experience at Youwakai.

My friend in particular, who is a karate master and has a special interest in (almost) all Japanese arts and practices, enjoyed the tea ceremony very much.

I would therefore like to thank you for the rewarding experience, which opened to all of us a new window on Japanese culture.

I wish you a very good week-end!

Warm regards,
