Another goal for the year is to continue studying Japanese arts...I have my first Japanese dance (Buuyo) performance in November. I am studying hard. I will wear a kimono with super long sleeves (furisode) meant for young, unmarried girls.
I started ikebana lessons tonight. The picture is my first creation.
I am studying with the Obara school. My teacher is 89 years old, maybe 130cm and super genki! I am really excited about these lessons! First my teacher puts the flowers together, explaining the basic parts of the design. I watch, memorize the positioning, pull all the flowers out, and start again. She checks my design and then I take it apart once more and redo it at home to enjoy!
