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 …!

I set a goal at the beginning of the year to sell it in the market and online in addition to the miniature clay and handcraft classes, but I have not much spare time💦 and will be April soon.
I'm working on something for sale little by little. I still have lots of things to do, to make more production for sales and have to prepare to sell at market or online… The progress is slow, but it is progressing little by little.
The new school, work year starts in April in Japan. Even if I’ve lived abroad for a long time, I still have the feeling that April will be a new start.
Dark and cold winter has gone and bright spring full of flowers came !
It's a good season to start something. I will do my best and move forward.
