japanese tea class in osaka and/or taipei
 

Greetings :) I will be vacationing briefly in Taipei as well as Osaka
from March 16-April 3. I'm interested in taking some cultural classes
regarding the japanese tea ceremony. So far I've sent an email to the
Taiwan government cultural center as well as to the Urasenke Foundation
but neither have replied. I guess they're busy? Since my travel date
is closing in, I was wondering if anyone in this group knows of a way
for me to find out if there are any classes available and where they
are? Thank you in advance for your help.

Silly question perhaps, but did you contact Urasenke in English or
Japanese?

What do you want exactly ? It's for how many persons ? Can you speak
Japanese ? Have you already studied tea ceremony ? Is it "serious" study or
just an introduction ?
I live in Osaka. If you give me more details, I can ask around me to find
what you want. Kyoto is probably a better place for tea ceremony.
