Monday July 11, 2016

Beginner:
We have apparel down pat, and now we can say clothing and accessories in Japanese. Nice boushi ! But on a more serious note, I loved flipping through a Japanese brochure for teen girls searching for words that I know (that was sarcasm people).

Advanced:
Today’s advanced class was pretty laid back. It started with a solid one hour taiko lesson, which included a rigorous warm-up and instruction from the famous Tomomatsu Senpai. Soon after we completed our interview questions for the Senpai and Sensei and transitioned right into the koto workshop!

Culture Class
Today in Tomomatsu-senpai’s class, we had a debate about the Japanese military where we had to take sides and talk about recent events going on in Japan. Not only did I learn a lot about affairs in Asia, I had a lot of fun debating with my friends (and winning twice!) We only have one more culture class left :( but I’m sure it’ll be fun! -Abhishek Mishra


Koto and Traditional Japanese Instruments
We were treated to a fun display of many new and interesting Japanese instruments earlier today when two guests--both originally from Japan--came to visit and teach us about them. The sounds were very different from Western instruments and music, but it was very enjoyable. We saw the koto, a bamboo flute, and lots of other cool things, too. Not to mention we all learned a traditional Japanese dance to “Sakura Sakura” at the end just before lunch.
