Come to the JASC and experience Kakizome(書初め – calligraphy)and Hatsuike (初生け – ikebana/flower arranging)at our New Year Kids Camp!
This cultural event is a full day, in-person, drop-off day camp for children in 1st – 6th grades.
Kakizome and Hatsuike are annual traditions for the New Year in Japan. People write the first calligraphy of their resolution for the new year in Kakizome. Hatsuike is a first ceremony of the year to continue to practice diligence in ikebana.
In the camp, participants will learn the basics of calligraphy and flower arranging. Their work will be displayed in an exhibit at the end of the camp for everyone to view and appreciate the artwork of each camper.
Full capacity for the camp is 24 students. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
