Today Guest Artist Yuki Martin lead the Origami Studio with folded paper accessories fit for royalty. Everyone else offered a variety of projects involving fish, puppets, or fans, and then some!

Tomorrow, Friday, we are all looking forward to finding out just what Kaguya-hime, born from the hollow of a glowing bamboo stalk, will do when her 5 suitors return with their impossible tasks accomplished . . . the finale of this week’s mukashi banashi (a very very very old story).

To honor the five days we have all shared together, the gate will open tomorrow at 2:45pm for families to join this week’s celebration parade, Art Camp’s version of a Japanese matsuri (festival).

Ja mata!
