4-H World Citizenship -

Harajuku was above and beyond Amazing!!!! XD The Harajuku district of Tokyo is a Mecca for artists, free spirits, and fashion! Shopping areas including Takeshita-dori shopping are the cutting edge of fashion in Tokyo where you can see all the latest in Japanese street fashion and then buy in the boutiques. It is very crowded. I am told it is a 'must see' for Japanese tourists.

I leave for the airport in one hour. I will be home soon about 24 hours actually.

4-H World Citizenship

I spent my last night with my host family. On my last day, we went to a five story building for Manga/Shine figurines and other collectibles. Then we ate sushi that was very nice and the "cook" liked me so much he gave me a sushi calender and a sushi mini book! :)) Wow, what a nice last day. Today, I flew to Tokyo and I am staying in the Shinjuku District until I fly back to America on Thursday!

4-H World Citizenship - Indian food, potrtaits, and rain boots

We just finished eating Indian food! It made me wish to go to Taj (an Indian restaurant in Oklahoma City that donated to my trip!). Also, I drew portraits of my parents and sis this morning. Only a few days till I am home, I am ready to hear English around me.

I bought rain boots today! They make me think of my Grandma Honey; strawberries and cranberries!!!










The cutest Japanese plastic cutting boards!

4-H World Citizenship - 4-H Labo Camp, Kyoto artist

I have been at a Japanese 4-H Labo Camp the last few days. I climbed 2 mountains in 4 hours on the second day, the view from the top of both mountains I climbed were beautiful! I slept on a thin blanket, they called it a futon. At camp I gave away Oklahoma peanuts from the Oklahoma Peanut Commission! They loved them!

Below, I am posting more pictures of father’s artist friend’s house - all are working on the second floor of his house, in Kyoto.




One of the people working on a painting of a temple name.













This artist is working on the details of the sakura blossoms. This is the paper for the inner skidding screens/doors of a temple. This is for the summer festival time. Click on the link at the top right hand side of my blog to see sakura (cherry blossoms) in Japan.













The flower that Buda sits on, he is painting the Golden lines all by hand! :O
