Sumie -- June 18, 2013

Five ladies met for sumie on a sunny day in rainy season.

They painted sunflowers under the instructions of the teacher.

They found it quite difficult to paint sunflowers.

Our next lesson will be in September after the long summer break.

As this is the last lesson for 2 couples, we had a kind of review

of their favorites according to the requests. They prepared and

cooked so skillfully. Sensei added new typical Japanese every

day side dish using sesame.

We had nice time and quite happy to introduce Japanese cooking.

Wish them enjoy Japanese cooking wherever they may go.

 

Ikebana -- June 11, 2013

Today, we had the last lesson before summer holidays.

Besides ikebana with usual vases, ladies enjoyed it
with a tiny container.

Please have a look. After finishing her stage, a lady

challenged her test and succeeded. Congratulations!

 

Sumie -- June 7, 2013

One group had the last sumie lesson before leaving Japan.
Today's theme was Mt. Fuji. Mt Fuji they painted were all different;
one was modern with strong brush stroke, one was elegant with delicate
touch of brush. Have a look at the photos below. They have really made
progress.
