Kenji

Kenji

Tea master · groom

Trained in Uji; believes the right pause matters more than the right word.

How they met

A morning in the moss garden, in no particular hurry.

They met at a tea ceremony where neither of them spoke for the first hour. Six years later, the silence still sounds like home.

— 一緒に · together, in stillness.
