Last Sunday was the KICC Halloween party, so today us teachers have an extra day off this week. The party had a great turnout and I was happy to see many of my students in their adorable costumes. It was also a great way to meet some new people!
I thought I'd take advantage of the time off to relax and enjoy the day. This morning I woke up fairly early for my Sado class at 10am. Today I learned practiced various methods of folding, and how to purify the utensils before and after serving. My sensei has lent me some of her things to practice with. My aim is to practice everynight before bed! We'll see if I can stay true to my word.
I picked up some adorable white flowers at the local supermarket this morning. The marigolds I had used form my ikbana arrangements on Saturdy have arlready died but my branche are still staying lovely so I had to find a replacement for the flowers ASAP. Perhaps the theme is a little bit too winter-like for this time of year (especially in southern Japan). But, being a winter lover myself, I think it suits me just fine. There was no name on the flower packaging but I later realized that I had bought snow ball chrysanthemums. Turns out they are commonly used at funerals and are recognized as a symbol of grief... oooops.
