Hikari School -- February 18, 2010

We did origami first with origami paper and then with handkerchieves.
A handkerchief folded into kimono-shape will be a lovely present.
One lady had a test and was presented a certificate of completion.
She is moving to Germany next month.
We will surely miss her.

Shodo -- February 15, 2010

It looked as usual class. Ladies gathered in a cold
rainy weather and practiced shodo followed by hot
coffee and warm conversations. But there was some
lonliness in it as some of the members leave Tokyo
soon. It would be nice if they will cherish
the memories of the class and enjoy shodo
wherever they go.

Cooking -- February 8, 2010

We had a newcomer from Finland who arrived just a few weeks ago.
Six ladies enjoyed today's cooking class. We cooked Grilled fish
wrapped in auminum foil, Japanese pork miso-soup, cucumber salad,
and yuzu sherbet. Thanks to hard-working ladies, lunch was ready
around noon. Lively lunch with four kids!

Art shodo -- February 4, 2010

Today ladies enjoyed making a magical small folding
screen. Idea comes from a traditional Japanese toy.
As teacher prepared three long washi paper
beforehand, ladies finished it taking not much time.
