Who Is Yumi?

Meet Yumi, a curious young Japanese girl with a big heart and a love of adventure. She loves traveling the world, discovering new places, and making friends along the way.

Her journey begins with her grandmother, Obāchan, a tea master who travels with a global organization to share the importance of the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Through Obāchan’s travels, Yumi meets animal friends from different parts of the world—each with a story to share and something wonderful to teach her.

Inspired by the ceremony’s four guiding principles—Harmony, Respect, Purity, and Tranquility—Yumi and her friends discover how everyday moments of kindness can bring people closer together. (See Wa Kei Sei Jaku)

Come explore with Yumi, where every new friendship opens a door to adventure—and every act of compassion helps the Garden of Peace grow.
