We're in the daily. :)
Although there are some errors in the article, of course. Laura, I didn't know you knew how to do the Chabako ceremony!

I also didn't know that there were four of us kimono-clad students. XD

Well, I suppose since one is always a student, and Watanabe-sensei was kimono-clad...

True, though it remains a rather strange usage in the speech of most folk in a college community to call three local undergraduates + one foreign professor a group of four students. Since we weren't all cited by name, I have a sneaking suspicion that there may have been a counting error involved in the Daily's reckoning of our tea party.

But, to be fair to the reporter, while it is indeed true that I do not know how to do the Tea-in-a-Box ceremony, she didn't claim that I was the one SERVING tea in the chabako ceremony, merely that I was STARTING the ceremony - which is absolutely true, since I was the shoukyaku, and thus the first person to enter the tea room.

I was thinking the same thing, actually.
