I attended Japanese Day celebration at Justin's school today. The kids were to dress in Japanese themed clothes. Apart from kimono, happi coat, ninja costumes, other interesting ones include: boy in a sumo suit, japanese pancake head-gear, and teacher dressed as a school girl with super short skirt (and yes, with a blonde wig).
There was a shishimai (lion dance) performance at the morning assembly. The day was packed with exciting activities and Justin enjoyed learning about Sumi-e (Chinese : 水墨画). His class had a workshop on Sumi-e and he had a chance to paint using a chopstick and ink.
During lunch, there was also a Japanese buffet where the kids were treated with tuna mayo and cucumber sushi rolls made by parents.

Justin's Sumi-eJonathan has been bringing back things which he does in school too. My favourite ones are his spring chick and Hinamatsuri (Doll's Festival) drawing. His teacher says that he is a perfectionist at art activities, copying the teacher's examples perfectly every time.
