Hello everyone! 😚

At our last JCC meeting, we did Origami Omamori!

Omamori is a japanese good luck charm you get at shrines, and we fused this activity with Origami!
Everyone got to make their own Omamori, and decorate it with their own designs and wishes to take home. ⛩️🍀😆

Hello everyone!

Here are some photos from our last meeting on 4/11/25. We talked about Japanese tea ceremonies and even got to try 4 teas as well! We even voted on which one we all liked most and matcha won, though it was a very close race!

Hi everyone!

Our next Japanese Culture Club meeting is this Friday, April 11th from 1:00PM-2:00 PM in LA 101!

We’ll be exploring the beauty of the Japanese tea ceremony (茶道 sadō); a peaceful tradition centered on harmony, respect, and tranquility 🍵✨ After learning a bit about it, we’ll enjoy some tea and mochi together!

We’ll also share info about a fun volunteer opportunity at the Japanese Friendship Garden for Children’s Day 🎏 and tell you about Slamnesty, an event hosted by Bridgette, the president of the Amnesty International Club 🎤🕊️

Bring your friends, sip some tea, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon with us!

See you there~
