Dr. Genshitsu Sen, Chado Urasenke 15th Generation Grand Tea Master, donated Jaku’an Tea House and Seien Garden to UHM in 1972. In Fall 2014, ever forty years later, Dr. Sen graciously sponsored the first major renovation of Jaku’an. A reopening ceremony was held February 13, 2015. After a Hawaiian blessing and chant, UHM Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman personally thanked Dr. Sen for his continued support enabling UHM students to study the way of tea in an authentic setting for decades to come. The UH tea club, led by Dr. Sen, capped off the event in characteristic fashion with a tea service.
