English Speaking Society has launched a monthly book club to read Chado-related works and meet and discuss virtually with other area students of all levels and experience. The first book for May 2025 was Every Day a Good Day by Noriko Morishita and June 2025 selection was The Enjoyment of Tea by Sen Genshitsu XV. July 2025 will be Making Tea, Making Japan by Kristin Surak and August 2025 will be Illusory Dwellings: Aesthetic Meditations in Kyoto by Allan S. Weiss. So far, there has been 7-8 participants at each session. Books are chosen by general consensus and nominations for future selections are welcome to ESS co-chairs.
