A charity concert and event sponsored by the “Hokuriku Kenjinkai of the Netherlands“ was held in Amstelveen today.
It was a lively event with concert by Japanese musicians and sales of Japanese foods and other goods etc.
This event was a warm and wonderful event made by the cooperation of everyone from the Hokuriku Kenjinkai, volunteers, and those who participated in performances and sales.
It was nice I could participate the charity event.

Hinamatsuri festival is coming soon in Japan. Yesterday, I held a Hina dolls making workshop and the sisters participated.
The lady who applied knew my workshop at Japan Festival held in Amstelveen last year and were interested in it, and her sister and niece also like it. And three of them applied this time together. Her niece wasn’t able to come yesterday, but sisters were having fun together.
They made lanterns, small hina arare and hishi mochi (sweets for Hina doll festival) as well as two dolls. There are many things to make in this work!
This work is a bit more difficult than some of the other works, but they made each piece well and very cute works have been completed.
The ladies love miniatures and enjoyed the workshop. They said they would like to participated again, and I'm so happy.

Today, a person who is returning to Japan next month joined this workshop with friend.
They created a windmill and lots of tulips, place the tulips in ready-made wooden shoes, and arrange them as they like. It was difficult to make so many tulips, but as they made some, they got better and better.
They also made cute windmills and it was completed ! Both of them were very happy and said, “ It's so cute! “ I’m glad that they were satisfied (^^)
I would be happy if she displays it with her memorial photo of the Netherlands when she return to Japan.
