2004 marks the 50th year since Daisosho SEN Genshitsu
(at the time, wakasosho), together with his brother NAYA Sotan
Yoshiharu,
went to Mexico in 1954 to attend the 9th World Convention of
the International Junior Chamber as representative from Japan, and
during that trip, inaugurated the Urasenke Mexico, Brazil, Peru, and
Argentina chapters.
To commemorate this 50th anniversary of Urasenke's official
presence in Central and South America,
there will be a grand Urasenke Tankokai Latin America
Convention held in Mexico City this coming September. Many events are
scheduled, including a tea offertory service as well as a public lecture
by Daisosho SEN Genshitsu,
and a tea gathering at which the various venues will
highlight the features of the sponsoring countries.
