Kyoto Prefecture has decided to hold a large-scale tea ceremony at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine (Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City) in the fall of 2025, in honor of the Kitano Daichayu, held by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1587 and attended by Sen no Rikyu, Imai Sokyu, and others. The aim is to promote tea culture both domestically and internationally in conjunction with the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo.
