Japanese Culture during Multiculturalism Week
November 17, 2023
During the International Education and Multiculturalism Week activities, professor Ami Hagiwara hosted two work shops across two days.
November 15th, professor Hagiwara hosted Japanese Origami in the Agora hallway. Here is their write up of the event:
Origami is a traditional Japanese art. We had very simple ones to super complicated ones like a rose, made using in most cases a piece of square paper.
On this day, we offered several Origami options in different difficulty levels, and we folded them together with the people who stopped by.
Japanese international and exchange students volunteered for this event and enjoyed making Pikachu, dragons, rabbits, penguins, frogs, and balloons with Origami paper. Some people showed their Origami skills by making butterflies, cranes, etc.. Thank you for coming to this event.

November 16th was the event of making ONIGIRI rice balls and MAKI-SUSHI.
Everyone made at least one ONIGIRI first. Since we are supporting the ONIGIRI Action, which provides support of 5 school meals per one photo of ONIGIRI sent in.
Only three had experienced making ONIGIRI before this event. Some made cute faces on their ONIGIRI.
Then, after ONIGIRI, we learned how to make SUSHI and challenged making it as a group. It was a fun experience.
