The Dutch lady participated in the previous "Western sweets" workshop and said that the workshop had a lot of fun and joined again.
It's a detailed work, but both of them made quickly and very well, and it was completed much shorter time.
In this Wagashi workshop, participants fold origami cranes and the Dutch lady were also very good at folding small crane using 3cm square origami paper.
She is a fan of the action game "Ryu ga Gotoku", so she brought a figurine of that character and took his pictures with Japanese sweets she made.
The size of the miniature sweets was perfect for that character, but there was a gap between the cute sweets and the character's atmosphere… it was funny, and the other participant and I also had fun to see it.
We are talking about the participant’s favorite figure, AnimeCon, about Japan, and introducing each other while making the miniature sweets. It's fun to interact each other.
I think both of them enjoyed “Wagashi” workshop today.
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 …!
