Look Through the Heart Teahouse”
ShinKanAn Teahouse – The “Look Through the Heart Teahouse” 1. Introduction: History and Name • Our Teahouse in unique on the Central Coast. It is a traditional structure, using mostly Japanese joinery instead of nails, traditional tatami mats and hand-made paper sliding doors. Additionally, it is perhaps the only traditional Japanese Teahouse between the Greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco peninsula, and the only one in California using California natives in an intentional Japanese style. • It was originally built in Kyoto during the postwar period: a wooden plaque on the wall near the entry doors commemorates the architect and the date: 1949. The Teahouse was a gift from the President of the Nippon Oil Company to a local resident, Mr. H. Royce Greatwood, as an expression of appreciation for his assistance after the war. It was shipped in wooden boxes, each piece numbered, and reassembled in Mr. Greatwood’s Hope Ranch lemon orchard in the early 1950’s. This teahouse is evidence of the tremendous efforts that were made to renew the ties of friendship between former wartime adversaries. • The rich cultural tradition of Cha-do, The Way of Tea, graces this teahouse. In 2000, it was given the name ShinKanAn , meaning “Look Through the Heart” by the 15th Grandmaster of the Urasenke Tea school, an unusual event. • The name was generously given in honor of Heartie Anne Look, a teacher of flower arrangement and Japanese culture for many years in the Santa Barbara community. This teahouse is being used and maintained in a manner authentic to the tradition of Cha-do. -

WThe ideal colour is described as rabbit-blood red, which makes sense when you see it. “The clarity and colour are most import- ant,” Gonca Karakoc explains as we huddle under the brick arch of a 16th-century cara- vanserai. “If it’s cloudy it has been too long on the stove and will have a bitter aftertaste.” Kursunlu Han is one of hundreds of cara- vanserais (hans) still found around Istanbul, if you know where to look.

Hamburg-born and Istanbul-raised — “I see the city like you do, as an outsider, but I can explain it as an insider” — she is both gastro- nome and cultural interpreter on a day-long binge spanning both shores of the Bosphorus. We meet in Karakoy beneath the Roman- esque Galata Tower on a chilly Saturday morning. With her fine features, gamine-cut red hair and theatrical personality, Karakoc reminds me of Shirley MacLaine. “You will see!” she cries as we set off through the alleyways of Turkey’s biggest hardware market, Persembe Pazari. “There will be no elegant restaurants. We will be eat- ing very simple local foods. We want you to have a real, personal experience.” After our quick “commuter breakfast” at Kursunlu Han of tea and simit, the chewy Turkish bagels glazed with grape molasses much needed pick-me-up, Turkish coffee, and and crusted in sesame seeds, we head to the more insights into local lore. -
“The China of Santa Cruz”: the Culture of Tea in Maria Graham's
“The China of Santa Cruz”: The Culture of Tea in Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (Article) NICOLLE JORDAN University of Southern Mississippi he notion of Brazilian tea may sound like something of an anomaly—or impossibility—given the predominance of Brazilian coffee in our cultural T imagination. We may be surprised, then, to learn that King João VI of Portugal and Brazil (1767–1826) pursued a project for the importation, acclimatization, and planting of tea from China in his royal botanic garden in Rio de Janeiro. A curious episode in the annals of colonial botany, the cultivation of a tea plantation in Rio has a short but significant history, especially when read through the lens of Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (1824). Graham’s descriptions of the tea garden in this text are brief, but they amplify her thorough-going enthusiasm for the biodiversity and botanical innovation she encountered— and contributed to—in South America. Such enthusiasm for the imperial tea garden echoes Graham’s support for Brazilian independence, and indeed, bolsters it. In 1821 Graham came to Brazil aboard HMS Doris, captained by her husband Thomas, who was charged with protecting Britain’s considerable mercantile interests in the region. As a British naval captain’s wife, she was obliged to uphold Britain’s official policy of strict neutrality. Despite these circumstances, her Journal conveys a pro-independence stance that is legible in her frequent rhapsodies over Brazil’s stunning flora and fauna. By situating Rio’s tea plantation within the global context of imperial botany, we may appreciate Graham’s testimony to a practice of transnational plant exchange that effectively makes her an agent of empire even in a locale where Britain had no territorial aspirations. -
Growing an Herbal Tea Garden
Growing an Herbal Tea Garden By Lynn Heagney March 1, 2019 Teas if you please Growing an herbal tea garden is fun and rewarding. It involves selecting the site for your garden, deciding which herbs you’d like to grow, choosing a design, then planting, harvesting, and using the herbs you’ve grown in delicious teas. When you’re finished, not only will you have a wonderful source for all of your favorite teas, but you’ll also have a place that attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Your first major decision is deciding where you’d like to locate your garden. Be sure to pick a site that has lots of sun, at least 4-6 hours per day because most herbs like sunny locations. Also, pick an area that drains well. Only mint likes “wet feet;” the rest prefer drier areas. If your only option is a damp area, you might consider planting your herbs in a raised bed, or in containers. It’s also nice if you can find a site that’s relatively close to your house so you can have fast and easy access to fresh herbs. Now you’re ready to choose which herbs you’d like to include in your garden. You can decide to establish a site exclusively for herbs used only in teas, or you can combine those with culinary herbs. You can also mix both types of herbs with a variety of flowers. If you’d like see how these combinations might work, plan a visit to the Discovery Gardens in Mount Vernon, where the Herb Garden and Cottage Garden provide inspiring examples of these strategies. -

In order to make some sense of the Teahouse design, and more specifically its mode of Mahakasyapa, apparently, was the only acolyte present at The Flower Sermon, who proportioning, scale and materiality, it is necessary to understand something of the context understood. The Flower Sermon, it is said, was one where, "Standing on a mountain with his out of which the ‘Culture of Tea’, aka. ’Teaism’ first developed.

1 Introduction the General Experiences of Australian Prisoners
Introduction The general experiences of Australian prisoners of war in World War I have been neglected in both official and general war histories and accounts of the Anzac tradition. Even more neglected however are the experiences of Australian soldiers captured in theatres of war throughout the Ottoman Empire, including those captured at Gallipoli. Most examples of prisoner of war (POW) writing have concentrated on World War II POWs and the Japanese experience in particular.1 In the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM) collection dealing with Australian war captivity, for example, almost two thirds are concerned with World War II prisoners of the Japanese. Only ‘a tiny one percent’ is devoted to prisoners of the Turks.2 In the event that prisoners of war in Turkey are acknowledged, few sources are consulted. Selected memoirs and autobiographies are used uncritically without corroboration of other historical sources, particularly Turkish sources, to produce an overall picture of unrelieved brutality. It has been suggested that this historical neglect of prisoners of war can be explained by their representations of military failure, creating a sense of national shame. The fact that they have been captured suggests failure of leadership and planning at the highest level and also calls into question ‘the notion which has long been central to our national self-image, that our soldiers are especially competent fighters’.3 It is noteworthy in this context that the source of the Anzac tradition – the Gallipoli campaign – has not produced a scholarly study of the 1 See the following for an assessment of writers on prisoners of war (hereafter POWs): R. -

One of the country’s oldest pub- lic Japanese gardens, it’s been around for over 125 years and is a popular des- tination for locals and tourists. Stone lanterns, pagodas, cherry trees, bonsai and much more are packed into about 5 acres of undulating terrain. A waterfall tumbles down a rocky hillside to a large pond filled with colorful koi. In the dry garden, or karasansui, raked gravel serves as a metaphor for water.
