Late Post : Trip to Kasama

Voila, about a week ago I joined trip with other International Student organized by Team Eight (Student Club) of University of Tsukuba. Lets say, I am lucky (again) because actually this trip limited for only 30 student. And I got the the lottery. Yeaaay :P. We only have to pay 1000 yen for this trip. It was verrryyyy cheap.

Kasama is known for its ceramic art in Japan. it takes only 40 minute by bus to reach Kasama. The first activity for this trip is Chopstick making practice. we can choose what kind of material for our chopstick. Mine is Sugi wood (Cryptomeria javanica). To make chopstick was really exhausted activity. And here it is my handmade chopstick. Oh ya, this wood had good smell and also had good wood pattern.

Here it is. My handmade chopstick.

After finished our handmade chopstick making. We were heading to art center. this place exhibited very beautiful and expensive ceramic art. We also had lunch with japanaese style meal. And try to make pottery. And I was very awkward doing this kind art activity. No wonder, I got bad result in my art study when I was in Jonior and Senior High School :) But anyway, this trip was very interesting.
