We exceeded our goal!

Thanks to all our volunteers and supporters who donated generously to Japan at our event.

We will continue our efforts to help Japan.

We are still selling the last remaining tea bowls at Sharon Art studio.
We will also be organizing a tea ceremony demonstration, along with showing how to make tea bowls by hand, on May 24th at Macy's.

We will let you know of our upcoming events.

Thank you.
