The first teahouse in Sweden

The Zui-Ki-Tei teahouse, located in the park of the The Museum of Etnography, was built in 1990 and celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. Before the current teahouse was built, there was an earlier teahouse in the park. It was built 90 years ago, in 1935.

Today Yuu Komaki, chairperson of Friends of the Zui-Ki-Tei Tea House, will tell the story about the first teahouse. Friends of the Zui-Ki-Tei Tea House is an association that works with the museum and the Chado Urasenke Sweden Tankokai Association to preserve and manage the tea house.

The lecture will be given in English.
