木曜会お花見

Yesterday was the 27th annual Mokuyokai "Ohanami" held at the Asian Studies building and Nitobe Gardens at UBC, Vancouver. Feature activities were Japanese tea ceremonies, shakuhachi and koto performances, "kamishibai" storytelling, "origami" (paper folding) lessons, and the opportunity to try on "yutaka", traditional Japanese cotton robes. Turn out was pretty good in spite of the cool weather. The above shot was taken just around the corner from the entrance to Nitobe Gardens. Unfortunately my camera was uncooperative (claimed there was insufficient battery charge even though it was showing it as half charged) so I didn't take many photos.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/8936205@N02/sets/72157626346444875/
