We cooked rice without using a rice cooker (stove-top, in pot).
Tip for cooking rice: “at first begin with low heat, as the rice begins to expand boil the contents in the pot, then as the water + rice begins to simmer, turn the heat off completely – even if the child wants to see, don’t take off the lid (it’s hot)”’
With rice we cooked ourselves we made and ate delicious onigiri!

They tried washing clothes by hand.
A long time ago, everyone washed their clothes like this, a little troublesome right? But everyone had fun washing their clothes and enjoyed the experience.

Today we tried wood block printing with foam. Nagatomo sensei who majored in art was our instructor. The theme was “summer”. The students picked up various motifs such as fireworks, watermelon, popsicles, etc. It was so much fun making an original copy and printing it. They did not want to stop the activity!
