All classes ended this week.
In the last class, we finished restoring the shell pieces we had been working on up to that point and learned how to harden the wood that was covered in insect bites and falling apart. I am glad that I was able to work carefully until the end!
In these two months, I was able to learn many things that I would not have been able to learn in Japan. Not only did I gain more knowledge about crafts, but I also developed a deeper interest and concern for the craft. I would like to continue to produce using the knowledge and experience I gained here!
I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the teachers who kindly and carefully taught me, the interpreters who eliminated the language barrier, and all the people who watched over me during my study abroad!
Thank you very much for the two months!

今週で全ての授業が終わりました。
最後の授業ではそれまでに取り組んでいた貝の作品を修復し終えたり、虫食いまみれでボロボロになった木を固めるための方法を教わったりしました。最後まで丁寧に作業を進めることが出来て良かったです！
この2ヶ月で日本では学べないようなことをたくさん勉強することができました。工芸に関する知識が増えただけでなく、興味や関心もより一層深まりました。ここで得た知識、培った経験を活かしてこれからも製作を続けていきたいと思います！
優しく丁寧に教えてくださった先生、言語の壁を無くしてくれた通訳さん、留学を見守っていただいた全ての方々に心から感謝したいです！
2ヶ月間ありがとうございました！
