“ I Had The Opportunity To Participate-in All The Days Of This Program “

Beginning Of Day 1 :

On the first day, we learned about the 400-year-old history of Hasami. The history of HASAMI industry is about 400 years old.

After knowing about it, Together we made a Japanese food called Yakisoba . The teacher taught us once and then following it, we prepared the Food Yakisoba ourselves . 

After that we went to visit the
surroundings of this place 

This is where art is added to these manufactured items .

After seeing with own eyes how this product is produced from scratch . We paint to The plate  .

Our first day in that Hasami ware ended happily and we learned many important things. 

DAY 2 

On that day we started the journey happily. First, while listening to the guide's explanation
We walked around the pottery town with a guide and climbed up a tea plantation . There is a quiet environment full of nature on that road. 

we climbed the beautiful green mountain with tea fields and rice fields, which were the beginning of the program, and saw the natural beauty. All the tiredness was relieved by enjoying the cool air on the mountain. In addition, I was happy because of the aunties who welcomed me on the mountain. we got very good hospitality from those people, along with They gave me warm smiles and ocha and sweet bread and honey. I also received gifts in return.

After that, we saw the world's second largest scale climbing site. It is about 160 meters long and has 33 cabins. Located at the foot of Mt. Shirataki, where pottery is quarried, it was used as a cooperative kiln. Hasami-yaki recognized its importance in history and designated it as the nation's historical site. It is now under renovation. 

After that, we came down from the mountain and went to look for やきもの, which has been made for over 400 years. But it was already lunch time, so we ate the うどん that was cooked with love for everyone. 

After lunch, we started to search for old Hasami . We found 350 year old and 200 year old Hasami . There, a specialist teacher was waiting to help us.

After that, we made necklaces with what we got and took some souvenir photos.

The day was very enjoyable and it was an unforgettable day for me. I got good memories and saw the warmth of the teachers and had good experiences. Therefore, I invited you to come and create good memories while enjoying the beauty of nature. ()()()()()()()

I'm excited because it's the last day. I believe it will be a very enjoyable experience for me because We went to learn about the Hasami industry.

After that , I will work on making やきもの (small design craft ) with my own idea. I will listen carefully to the teacher's explanations and learn how to make them.

the teacher arranged a team game. The A team and the B team played with 5 players on each side. Because of this game, I felt like I was in my childhood and all the stress disappeared, it was very light and fun. Then the teacher gave gifts not only to the winning team but also to the other team and ended the program . 

In the end ,
