Description

The world’s first Hookah (Shisha) product based on the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The new culturally inspired experience unites two social customs centered on social gathering and sharing shisha smoking and tea ceremonies to invent a new organic smoking product that replaces smoking tobacco leaves with tea leaves.

“Kemuri-Kojoku” (煙小卓 : small table for smoke) is Hookah(Shisha) products based on the tea ceremony, developed to smoke tea. The first artwork “Kei-Hou” (呇朴) was presented at the “Shoseien” of the temple “Higashi Honganji” in Kyoto.

Description

The Japanese new meditative experience “Listen to the Tobacco” announced at the 100-year-old historical concert hall in Maruyama Park, the oldest park in Kyoto.

It is a smoking experience based on the tea ceremony, where you can enjoy the fragrance of tobacco leaves without inhaling them.
“Fukuryu-Ann” (福龍庵) as a new smoking room and tearoom in a historical building and created it in the space. We overturned people's preconceptions about smoking and sublimated it into a new meditative experience. On that day, everyone from non-smokers to children enjoyed the fragrance of burning tobacco leaves.

At the Gotenyama Sakura Tea Party held at the private TeaRoom “Ujian,” designed by architect Arata Isozaki, located in the Gotenyama Trust City where Tokyo Marriott Hotel is situated, we hosted a “Tea Smoking Ceremony.” We introduced a new “Tea Smoking” blended with cherry blossom leaves and presented ‘Kei-Hou Muji’ (呇朴 - 無時) as a new ‘Kemiru-Kojoku’ (煙小卓：a wooden smoking table).

We received over 100 applications just a few days after recruitment started for the 12 available spots, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all who participated in the event and applied for it.
