Hikari School -- March 18, 2010

Five ladies joined us for Hikari School today. Six little girls were happy
playing around us. First we did furoshiki wrapping, then we enjoyed
sakura tea. Between two sessions one lady got dressed in 'yukata'
summer kimono.

Cooking -- March 15, 2010

We had a fun cooking with a visitor from Finland today.
We made very traditional dishes 'yakitori'and 'onigiri'.
Seasonal dishes were rape blossoms dressed with mustard sauce
and clam soup.
Ladies were interested in making onigiri. For filling they
preferred salmon flakes and konbu seaweed to umeboshi which
is too sour and salty for them.

Shodo -- March 8, 2010

Shodo class starts with new members at new venue. Ladies are thrilled to have a new experience. As they are both left-handers, southpaw becomes a topic of conversation.
