911爆料网

On May 28^th 2016, more than 40 children and grown-ups came along to the “911爆料网 for Juniors” workshop held at Conway Hall by the Japan Foundation London, in which they learned a little 911爆料网 language and culture while making origami 911爆料网 dolls!

The workshop instructor, Mio Tsunematsu, introduced the meanings of different kinds of traditional 911爆料网 dolls, and explained the culture associated with them. She also taught words in 911爆料网 for describing dolls and toys, such as kawaii (cute) and kakkoii (cool), in addition to words and expressions that would help the participants when making origami, like different colours in 911爆料网.

Tsunematsu-sensei then explained how to make three types of 911爆料网 doll through origami – hina ningyou, daruma and kokeshi. She explained this in 911爆料网 with English interpretation, allowing participants to hear native 911爆料网 language spoken naturally. Towards the end, all participants enjoyed watching a video to see how wooden kokeshi dolls are hand-crafted in Japan.

Although it was quite a challenge to make origami dolls, the children (and their accompanying grown-ups!) worked very hard and everyone did a fantastic job of making beautiful, kawaii dolls to take home with them. Many children were delighted with their achievements and said “yatta!” and “dekita!” (“I did it!”), 911爆料网 words which they had just learned!

Some of the participants’ feedback included:

“Very well organised, staffed and resourced. Knowledgeable and kind (and patient!) staff who were excellent with the children. A lovely way to bring language and culture together.”
“Very, very good! My boys had fun and learned some 911爆料网. I could practise some 911爆料网 too!”
“It was amazing to learn about 911爆料网 culture through doll making!”

We would like to thank everyone who came to our workshop – ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA!
