Today, three people (Dutch and Mexican) participated in the "Japanese sweets" workshop.
Dutch lady applied for workshop for friend’s birthday present and she came with a friend (mother) and her daughter.
All of them like Japan and know lots of Japanese sweets they made today, and they enjoyed making miniature clay Japanese sweets.
It was detailed handicraft work, but everyone was well made, and it was also wonderful to be able to fold a small crane of 3cm square origami paper properly!
The idea of giving “workshop” as a birthday present is wonderful. She said it would be better to experience something than to give goods as a gift.
She loves Japanese food (both eating and cooking), and she is making dishes, sweets that even Japanese people don't easily make, so I'm really interested in it.
She is also studying Japanese, and was carrying a red school bag (Japanese students use as a school bag that called Randoseru) as a bag. It's interesting that the Ransel originally derived from the Netherlands became popular in Japan, and the Dutch people prefer to use it.
Today, I'm really happy she found my page on Instagram and came here.

At Coloratura workshop, I try to prevent infection to disinfect the table and doorknobs … and ventilate regularly. I also ask all the participants to take measure to prevent infection like wearing face mask..etc
My daughter's friend was interested in miniature clay and came to make miniature Hina dolls.
She likes Japan and is also studying Japanese. She enjoyed making Hina dolls, and when her work is finished, she said “it’s so pretty!” and looked happy.
