Japaneeessseeeee museum

The visit to the Bower's museum helped me understand more about the Japanese culture. The tour guides explained a lot about the Japanese culture. They talked about their kimonos and their pottery. Instead of just having lessons at school where you read the book and answer questions we were able to go to the museum where many resources were available. We also participated in hands on art projects.That the women in Japan made their own kimonos. By the time they were finished with their kimono, their eyes were as bad as 60 year olds. This was due to the fine stiching that the kimono was required to create. Also, back then, they didn't have good lighting.Their exhibits helped us understand about the Japanese culture. This made me want to present a good presentation to help people in my class to understand about the Japanese culture.We presented the tea ceremony. We reenacted the tea ceremony with real kimonos and the same tea powder they used. We also explained all the steps they had to go through to perform the tea ceremony.My members did really well to explain the tea ceremony. We went to the library several times to research. We worked every other day to perfect the presentation. We worked together well. We all worked hard to finish the project.I think they were more interested in the kimonos and the tea set that we used in the tea ceremony. It was pretty interesting what the Japanese do during the tea ceremony.We would have to rehearse the reenactment a few times to perfect it.In real life the Japanese would take 3 to 5 hours to drink the tea. It was more of a religous experience.
