Hikari School- 1st of December,06











Four ladies joined us for Hikari School on Dec 1st, Friday.

The lesson started with the story of 'Chuushingura' which is a popular topic around this time in Japan.

Then we did a little sewing and each one of us made a lovely 'sashiko' coaster, which was not easy for everyone.
We also enjoyed the sencha tea ceremony using the tea leaves blended with buckwheat grains, perilla, etc.

Always exciting to see the new tea utensils brought by the teacher!





During the two sessions the teacher dressed one member in 'yukata' kimono.
