***************************************
Sagalingua Language & Culture Coaching is a women-owned, small business in the Eastside, conveniently located close to Bellevue downtown. It was founded by Sandri Richardson, originally from South Africa, and Galia Dadiomova, originally from Russia, who both immigrated to the US 18 years ago. Because of their own experiences, they started Sagalingua to help other immigrants adjust to their new environment, engage in their community, and learn new language skills.

Sagalingua provides language and culture coaching, for adults and children, in 14 languages, taught by native teachers: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Polish, Serbian, Hungarian and Afrikaans.

We accept email inquiries in all 14 languages and can provide a translator to help with the initial appointment if necessary. We also offer free language level assessments and allow new moms to bring their babies with them to class.

Sagalingua wants to promote understanding and a sense of community between people from many different cultures. Students can join our monthly international book club or participate in monthly field trips to interesting local places like Bellevue Arts Museum, go blueberry picking, or attend a Mariners baseball game.

Our tagline is: Sagalingua – We Speak Your Language!

【Darlene Dihel - Sumi Painting】~Arts and Culture Booth~

【Darlene Dihel ...
Darlene Dihel, welcome back to Japan Fair!

Sumi painting is an East Asian type of brush painting. Traditional sumi painting only uses blank ink, but still makes the pictures come to life. beautifully expresses the spirit of nature.

Adding in some color, Darlene Dihel beautifully expresses the spirit of nature with the strokes of her brush.

Come to Japan Fair 2017 and Darlene Dihel's booth to see her magnificent drawings!

*****************************
Darlene, a native Washingtonian, is a retired teacher who spent half her career in the South Pacific (Guam and Kwajalein) with husband, Merle, and two children. She came full circle about 20 years ago, returning to the Pacific Northwest.

The love for SUMI-E, a Japanese word which means painting a picture with black ink, began over forty years ago following a few days in Japan. She began studying and painting sumi on her own until 1999 when she discovered the Puget Sound Sumi Artists organization, taking many classes from the group's masters. Darlene teaches sumi classes to all ages, enters shows and festivals, has solo shows, and does demonstrations. As well as studying the traditional sumi-e, she adds Asian watercolors to her work and creates sumi mixed media.

A painting session begins by grinding the sumi stick with water on a grinding stone to make black ink, and then making a dish of grey ink. The animal hair bamboo brush is dipped in water, grey ink, then black. Grasping the brush in the middle with arm off the table, basic calligraphy strokes are made on rice paper to create images. Whatever the final image, creating a work of art is an experience within itself, a journey recording a brief moment in time.

Studying and painting sumi is a constant in Darlene's life. Her goal is to improve as a sumi artist although she will always be "a student" in this spontaneous, simplistic, spiritual style of painting..

【Heiando】~Market Place Booth~

Heiando will be back at Japan Fair 2017, collaborating with Fran's Chocolate for another year!

As a proud purveyor of traditional urushi (Japanese Lacquerware) tableware to the Japanese Imperial Household, Yamada Heiando opened his first boutique in 1919.
Since then, Heiando has been preserving, honoring, and spreading traditional urushi while also connecting and adapting to modern tableware.
They are already looking ahead to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where they aim to spread the craftsmanship to foreigners and the younger generation.

*******************
Yamada Heiando opened its first boutique in 1919 in Tokyo. Yamada Heiando is a proud purveyor of tableware to the Japanese Imperial Household and offers a wide range of designs to fit modern lifestyles while honoring centuries of Urushi tradition. Heiando America, Inc. is a U.S. subsidiary of Yamada Heiando and an exclusive distributor of its lacquerware in the North America.

In 2020, Tokyo will host the summer Olympics. This world-wide sports event will generate more interest in Japanese cultures among people around the world. We believe this would be a great time for us to introduce the beauty of the traditional urushi lacquerware to the world. 

We also believe it would help the urushi industry continue to grow, leading to the globalization of the craftsmen. Heiando has been proactively engaged in developing a solid foundation for the young generations to join the industry.

【Throwback Thursday】Booths From Across the Pacific

At Japan Fair 2016, there were companies who came all the way from Japan to excite us with their products!

Those companies included JR East, Kyoikudojinsha, Kyoto Kakimoto, Matshumoto Shouten, and Shimokawa Tailor.

A train driving simulator was brought by JR East to allow visitors to experience the difficult but exciting task of directing a train. (First picture, top right)

Matshumoto Shouten came from Hyogo Prefecture to showcase their beautifully designed candles. Unlike traditional western candles, they showed us that their candles can come in spheres and vase-like shapes. (First picture, top left and bottom left)

Cute Japanese school uniforms were displayed by Shimokawa Tailor. (First picture, bottom right)

Established in 1845, Kyoto Kakimoto showed Japan Fair 2016 the high quality of traditional Japanese paper. (Second picture, top right)

Kyoikudojinsha came to Japan Fair 2016 to introduce the thoroughness of Japanese textbooks of all kinds of subjects.

Come to Japan Fair 2017 to see more booths!
