Hikari School -- January 26, 2009

Four ladies attended the first class of Hikari School 2009. The teacher talked about the traditional New Year's games like sugoroku(backgammon), karuta, hanafuda, flying-kite, battledore and shuttlecock. We had fun playing "bekuhai" game with special sake cups using tea instead of sake wine.

Shodo -- January 5, 2009

It was the first shodo lesson in 2009. Five enthusiastic ladies attended. It seemed a little tight for doing shodo as they practiced with bigger sized paper today, but they shared copies to make more room.
