Art Work Exhibition - February 2010

Kinugawaidai Yochien held their annual student art show on February 6, 2010. It was so much fun to see the projects that Rylee has been working on these past few months. She was so proud and we were so impressed with her work and with the hard work of the staff to exhibit all their pieces.

This piece represents the emperor and empress to honor girls day, Hinamatsuri,
held every year on March 3. However, Rylee says it her Mom and Dad dressed as a prince and princess.



Mioko came to support Rylee's special day at school.
The students are required to wear a mask to school each day, especially during cold and flu season. Avery wanted to be just like her big sis.


The students made ogre masks in preparation for Setsubun, held every February. Setsubun refers to the eve of Risshun (first day of spring). It is important that evil forces be cast out for good fortune for the new season. On the eve of Setsubun, people fling beans at demons lurking in the dark outside. Children often wear masks as they throw the beans to scare off the demons.
