[Cynnabar] Schedule for Japanese day!

[Ann Asplund via Barony]

Greetings to all!

Here comes the schedule for the Japanese day, and remember, it is open for
anyone curious about Japanese culture in period.

Meet at the University of Michigan Museum of Art 10:45, at the front doors
(525 South State Street, Ann Arbor).
11:00 Museum opens, and we will be at the Japanese collection, in case you
miss us at the door. Museum has asked us kindly to not show up in garb, and
I have promised that we will be good, but please bring garb to our class
room site.

12:00- ish Leave to go to site, 601 Lambkins Rd, Saline. Look for Japanese
signage.

12:30 ish Start serving food and eat food  - Mistress Kay is going to talk
a bit about Japanese food.
Hopefully we will start and finish eating in time to start classes at 1pm,
or 1:30 at the latest, but there is some extra time, if we need it :)

If you want to bring your own snacks/lunch - Please do not bring fresh mint
or bananas to the site! One of our teachers is very allergic to bananas!!

Craft table/Station 3
On this table there will be origami, calligraphy, furioshiki, and a pile of
reference books available, for you to peruse. And hopefully some Japanese
games.

After classes we will have a Japanese persona round table discussion, put
together a tea ceremony and watch some slides.

There will be several sets of Japanese garb available to borrow during the
day, and we will demonstrate some of the useful obi knots and how to fold
them to store them.

Please let me know if you plan to come by sending me an email, since we are
planning a lunch for you, and let us know about allergies.

If you have any questions, send me an email at: moas at cynnabar.org

Best,
