Camellia Festival (part 2) ;

*Calligraphy and Japanese ceremonial tea*
Master of the calligraphy school demonstrated writing the calligraphy on the large paper.  First time for me to see with my own eyes.

He wrote the title of a school song.  This song is expressing the still having the coldness of early spring. These 2 ladies are singer sisters. 

Served tea and this lovely dogie was watching me enjoying it;

*Some of the things we could buy from the handcraft group* 

*Works made of Bamboo Coal*

"Frog" in Japanese "kaeru", which has the same pronunciation as another Japanese word (homonym) "kaeru" meaning "come back",  So it is often used to wish someone's safe return.

This couple owns the shop of these lovely works,

Thank you very much for stopping by;

I'm lining this post to Saturday's Critters , Mosaic Monday and Our world Tuesday;
