Hello ! This is Morgan from NY branch.

On Wednesday November 9th, SuMi Trust Americas Division supported Chanoyu Week in NYC by inviting employees to partake in a learning opportunity about the Chanoyu tradition. The class was conducted by a Tea Master, Mr. Yoshitsugu Nagano.

Through the rituals of Chanoyu, this class provided a means of escaping the daily stresses and pressures of our modern society and the daily information overload that we live with, and a means of balancing the mind and body.
