We had a new attractive program both for internationals and nationals. This program ,Chabako, is a good sample of foreign idea giving a touch to Japanese common tool and turn it to something different and charming. It is no more just a Japanese tea leaf storage but a decorative container and/or stool which you could use in a nice place of your house.
Most of the work was taken on the floor. We had to help each other when we covered the lid with batting and obi material as you see in a picture. We needed 2days for finishing. With patient help from cheerful teacher,each of us could complete the work and very much satisfied.
