Chado Research Center Gallery Membership System

The Chado Research Center Gallery Membership System is a cooperative system between the Urasenke school of tea ceremony foundation and universities and other institutions which aims to provide students with the opportunity and facilities to appreciate and learn about the traditional Japanese culture of the tea ceremony.
Kyoto University became a member of the system on June 25th, 2007. We hope that our membership will give Kyoto University students, faculty and staff members the opportunity to learn about and engage in cultural activities.
