We made flower accessories using Japanese-patterned cloth.
A Dutch lady participated today. Three people were scheduled to participate but due to circumstances, a lady who was planning to come with friend from far away couldn’t come suddenly, so it became a one-on-one lesson.
In Today’s workshop, she could make two works with a large flower and a small flower, and she chose hair pin and charm. The hair pin was for her daughter and the charm was for herself.
She likes Japan and also makes bags and accessories..etc using Japanese-patterned cloth. I’m glad Dutch people likes Japanese things and makes Japanese craft like this.
Since there was only one participant, we were able to talk about various things and I had a good time. I think I am really happy to be holding workshops whenever people came and could interact like this.
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.
