Japan

With our artist in residence, Yasuko Uemura as our guide, our visit to Japan included exploring many delightful sights, sounds and tastes of the Far East such as:

• Japanese Language - ancient characters and their pronunciation

• Japanese Foods - a sample of sushi, sashimi, and rice crackers

• Calligraphy - a learned art form used in all Japanese schools

• Haiku - the beautiful form of poetry

• Family - the value of the family unit

• Sumo Wrestling - an ancient, yet interesting, and popular sport in Japan today.
