🏳️‍🌈🌈Happy Pride!️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Did you know that the city of Sakai in Osaka is the birthplace of Japan’s tea ceremony culture? 🍵
The Sakai Plaza of Rikyu and Akiko is the premier location to dive into and experience Japanese tea ceremony.

On June 9, 2024, the Plaza is hosting a diversity-themed farmer’s market with rainbow flags, merchandise, and workshops. The event will have a fashion show and talk show featuring both LGBTQ+ and ally models in collaboration with Kansai ALLYMO, a local fashion collective dedicated to promoting allyship for the LGBTQ+ community.

Special just for Pride month, the Sakai Plaza has also crafted a rainbow-colored Japanese sweet titled Kibou (“Hope”) to serve during standing tea ceremonies. These are only available for a limited time, so take advantage of the farmer’s market on June 9 to experience the origins of Japan’s tea ceremony culture!
