Painting ceramic Rice Bowls
Getting to create a design for a bowl and paint it was a lot of fun, the group was pretty quiet and didn’t talk a whole lot but it was fun nevertheless.

For lunch our group went to a sushi conveyor restaurant, a sushi conveyor is a type of restaurant where the food delivery is completely autonomous, food goes around a conveyor belt and you get choose what food you want to eat. Or you can order from a menu pad.
Everyone was excited to go to the conveyor restaurant, due to it being so different to the type of restaurants we have back at the states.
The food was really cheap! Only 1-2 dollars per item! The food was really good, some even tried eel for the first time. Everyone ate so much because of how interesting, and good looking the food was. And the dessert was the best, it was so delicious!

We took a class on how to make senbei, which are fried rice crackers. They came in thin wafers, and we had to carefully cook them over a grill so they expanded, making sure to prevent bubbles with a clay press. Then we brushed them with soy sauce.
A local artisan gave us a tour of their workshop, and we saw very intricate samurai armor sculptures.
Then we got to make our own keychains using the same weaving techniques. It is said that if you hang the keychain near your chest, it gives you protection.
