Note Regarding Passover
We regret that these events coincide with the observance of the Eve of the First Day of Passover. Whilst every consideration was made to avoid this conflict, the recipient of the Donald Keene Prize is traveling to the United States from Japan within a very limited schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In order to accommodate those who will be observing the Eve of the First Day of Passover (Candle Lighting Time is 7:13 pm on April 12), the Keene Center will hold a Special Tea Demonstration from 4:00 to 5:10 pm in the Rotunda of Low Memorial Library. The Demonstration will be given by the Former Grand Master of the Urasenke School of Tea, Dr. Genshitsu (Hôunsai) Sen. In addition, this year’s Sen Lecture will begin slightly earlier than the accustomed time. We thank everyone for their gracious understanding.
