Tea Ceremony Club
CharacterA small society within Soul Society devoted to practicing the Japanese tea ceremony, led by the Captain-Commander himself and drawing a handful of the Gotei 13's senior figures to its unhurried gatherings.
Overview
This club exists to practice the traditional art of the tea ceremony, and Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto stands at its head. Its meetings gather several notable figures, Retsu Unohana and Byakuya Kuchiki among them, while Yachiru Kusajishi wanders in and out chiefly for the refreshments on offer.
Role
The circle operates on a budget of 150,000 Kan. On occasion its representation falls to Chōjirō Sasakibe, a curious pick given his well-known preference for Western-style tea over the Eastern tradition the club celebrates; he has spoken for it at budget meetings all the same.
Notable Members
Beyond Yamamoto's leadership, the membership features Unohana and Byakuya as its more prominent regulars, with Yachiru dropping by for the snacks. Renji Abarai has turned up to at least one session, though he freely admits he has little idea why he is there, confessing that he is poor at such refined pursuits.
