Slideshow: A Japanese Tea Gathering in Duke Gardens

Local students learn about Japanese culture

On March 26, students from Saxapahaw's Hawbridge High School came to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens to present traditional Japanese tea gatherings at the Gardens' Japanese pavilion. The day was the culmination of two weeks of study of Japanese Tea Culture funded by Duke's Asian/Pacific Studies Institute and the Center for Global Partnership. The public also has the opportunity to participate in tea gatherings at the Duke Gardens monthly during the fall and spring. Photos by Megan Morr, Duke Photography
