April 27, 2013, 12noon 3pm
At this time of fully blossoming Peach trees and forsythia, and all kinds of cherry trees began to bloom, our association held its spring gathering at Edo Sushi restaurant (MHJCA corporate member) on April 27. Thirty- three members and friends greeted each other by welcoming a new season of spring after a long winter. Origami Kabuto-samurai helmet and Koinobori-carp streamers were placed in the restaurant as Childrens Day-Tango-no-sekku, May 5 was approaching. A special display was set up of Origami animals, which were folded by a 16-year old boy from Kyoto. Everyone was amazed to see such complicated origami folding, such as dragons, peacock and so on. As a part of small fundraising effort for MHJCA, $26.50 was collected from the sale of some donated items. | | 連翹や桃の花が満開のころを迎えまた桜もその後を追うように花びらを広げようとしている美しい春日和の４月２７日に春の集いが江戸寿司レストランにて催されました。３３人の参加者が各々長い冬の終わりと新しい季節の始まりを喜び合いました。店内は、５月５日の端午の節句を控えたこともあり、鯉のぼりや折り紙のかぶとも飾られ、特に日本の京都から送られてきた１６歳の折り紙少年、芹澤大輔君の動物折り紙の陳列には皆さんが興味津々と観賞されていました。また、会へ寄付された品物の幾つかも募金集めとして売りに出され、＄２６．５０が収集されました。 | |
