'Turning Japanese'

I was lucky enough to have a visitor in class for my Japanese elective this past week.

Midori Muramatsu came into class to show us the traditional kimono, with three lucky students being transformed.

She also taught us some moves in the art of traditional Japanese sword fighting. The students showed great restraint with no one walking away with contact marks but instead with a new understanding of the balance and precise movements needed to be a Samurai.

It was a wonderful treat for the class....Arigatou gozaimashita!
