Coloratura will hold Japanese-style handcraft workshops again this year at Japan Festival in Amstelveen stadshart on Sunday, June 25th.
I will offer the workshops of miniature clay (Japanese food, Japanese sweets) that were popular last year so please join the workshops on this occasion, and also hold workshops that you can make key chains and boxes using Japanese-style cloth and origami paper.
Last year, the workshops were fully booked and many people were unable to join. If you are interested, please come early.
The Japan Festival in Amstelveen is one of the largest Japanese events in the Netherlands, with over 10,000 visitors.
There are also many Japanese food stalls and stage performances.
(I am a member of the Japanese Choir “Sora", and I will sing on the stage from 13:40 to 13:50. Please come to stage and listen. (During that time, I won’t be in the Coloratura workshop stall.)
Please come to join us with your family and friends.

The weather was nice and many people visited the market yesterday.
It seems that many Japan-related markets and events are held in the Netherlands, and especially this market seems to be very popular event with a large number of visitors.
A lot of people came to my stall and my Japanese style handmade goods were by far the most popular compare with markets I have sold before. I was very busy and so excited !
Many friends and acquaintances visited my stall, and some people I had met before also came to my stall to talk to me.
I realized that I had made friends willing to help me and so many friends and acquaintances during less than two year in the Netherlands. It made me feel so happy!
The visitors to this market were Japan lovers. There were people wearing kimono, kimono-style costumes, and cosplay.
There are so many people who love Japan and such events are being held in the Netherlands. It’s so nice for us, Japanese… makes us very happy.
It was fun to have a stall at this Japanmarkt !
Thank you to everyone… friends who helped me, Siebold House who held Japanmarkt, people who came to my stall …!

When I went there, I was surprised to find that the scale was larger than I expected, and there were many bonsai from various countries.
Since it was an open day, there were also food stalls and various other shops.
Sushi, curry, pork cutlet sandwiches, Japanese sweets, Taiwanese tea..., Japanese-style handmade bags, sumie, Japanese paintings, sculptures, ikebana display (flower arrangement), Japanese tableware, flower pots..., and even a medaka(fish) shop…
I was surprised to know and it makes me happy that bonsai is so popular in the Netherlands !
I was very happy to be able to join such an event.
The staff of Lodder Bonsai and the other sellers were friendly, the atmosphere was great,
and I enjoyed the interaction with the people who bought from my stall and the people who talked to me while looking at my stall...
and also happy to see again with lady who had joined my workshops before…
I really had a very enjoyable time at the stall.
Thanks to the people in Lodder Bonsai for inviting me to participate in such an event! It was a great experience.

昨日、一昨日は “Lodder Bonsai bv” にて、 Bonsai Open Day が開催され、 そちらで出店してきました。
Do you know that there are many bonsai for sale in the Netherlands?
This weekend, March 11 (Sat) and 12 (Sun), I will sell Japanese-style handmade items such as miniature clay and tsumazaiku at the "Bonsai Open Day" here at “Lodder Bonsai bv”.
Students and parents sold handmade sweets and various things, and it was lively event.
I also sold decorations and accessories made of clay and Japanese fabric, and to my joy, my handmade works were popular among the children.
Children and their mothers and fathers looked at my handmade goods with great interest. What I prepared for this market such as “Christmas items”, “windmill and tulips” and also Japanstyle items were popular. Many children bought them.
It was a pity that only people from this school could come to this event, but I am happy many people were interested in my goods and I had such a fun day.
