We had fun shodo lesson with four ladies. Two ladies came with their small children despite the bad weather.They practiced some rain-related kanji and hiragana as well as basic strokes.

Four members enjoyed the combination of different skill by hands such as carving, writing and painting. Arranging stamps for finishing was also quite fun.

Shodo -- May 19, 2008



Today's shodo class started early afternoon. Three ladies enjoyed a quiet lesson time writing kanji and hiragana without being interrupted by the children, who were so good all the time.

Cooking -- May 9, 2008




Four ladies enjoyed cooking lesson today. We made chirashizushi(scattered sushi), steamed eggplants, clear clam soup, and soy-milk jello with strawberry sauce. It took us time to cook all the ingredients for sushi, but every dish was ready a little after noon.

Five enthusiastic ladies enjoyed shodo in a lovely room over-looking a cannal. One lady with a 7 months old daughter arrived in Tokyo two weeks ago. How is her impression of the first shodo lesson?
