＊This time, I will hold the workshop in Japanese, but if there are voices from Japanese who want to interact with local people and local people who want to interact with Japanese, I am also considering holding a miniature clay workshop in English. If you have any requests or opinions, please feel free to message me.
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.
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.
