After dinner, the Fuchimotos treated us to a tea ceremony. It's an old tradition in Japan that is now practiced as an art. It consists of a special order of drinking the tea and showing respect to those you're drinking with. It's all very quiet and solemn. It was interesting. Unfortunately, it was so dark it was hard to take a good photo, but you can get a pretty good idea from this. The kettle in the center contains the special tea (called "maccha").
