Freshmen and sophomore Japanese language classes visited the Hawaii Tokai International College for Japan Day. Students participated in a variety of classes such as Bon Dance, Calligraphy, Crafts, Ikebana, Kimono, Soroban and Tea Ceremony, to learn more about Japanese culture.
"All the classes were very exciting because it wasn't only listening to the speakers but also experiencing the culture with our whole body," said sophomore Hayato Kamata. "For example, for the Tea Ceremony, we ate sweet crackers and drank tea, which were delicious. For the Bon Dance, we danced until the class ended, and for Calligraphy and Crafts, we created different types of artwork using Japanese tools like fude and sumi."
