Day 2 in Hiroshima, Part 2: Japanese Culture Workshop

Before this workshop starts, we had lunch at the Four Seasons with survivor Ms. Matsubara and Museum Director Maeda, food was good, but the three-story chocolate fountain was great)

Around three o'clock, we met at a Japanese style room, complete with rice paper walls and tatami floors. We had four different things to try: kimonos, tea-ceremony (I made my own green tea and ate anko), calligraphy (apparently the first part of my name is a smileyface) and origami (I didn't try until the day after, but that is another story).
