Yuriko Hirayama-sensei

Here's a picture of me with one of my favorite speakers from the Tokyo: Here and Now program. She also teaches several classes through the Tokyo American Club on Japanese culture and traditions. I first heard her speak last fall and enjoyed it so much that I took all of the classes that she offered. She even had her students over to her home for a traditional tea ceremony. Since I didn't have this website then, I'm throwing in some pictures from that tea ceremony (taken last fall).
