Bubbles are an essential part of the bukubuku-cha tea ceremony. The froth is created with a giant tea whisk in a large basin, scooped onto each bowl of tea to give a cloud-like dome.
It is typical to serve sweets on paper folded into a fortuitous crane shape.

Kako-san performed a special tea ceremony for Bukubuku-cha (ぶくぶく茶), a uniquely frothy tea developed by the royal court of the Ryūkyū Islands to welcome special guests.
