Let’s Rediscover Japan (LRJ)
A club for rediscovering Japan, with meetings conducted in English.
Do you have enough knowledge about Japan or your country to tell someone about it?
In June, we will welcome Ms. Itske Stern who will speak about kokeshi, Japanese dolls.
During her 12-year stay in Japan, Ms. Stern became fascinated with kokeshi and over a period of seven years she acquired a substantial collection of kokeshi, as well as other items.
Currently she has taken many of these to her home in Dallas where they decorate her house.
Ms. Stern will incorporate photographs into her talk about how kokeshi, calligraphy, obi and Japanese chests of drawers can be integrated in the decor of a western-style home.
Time for a discussion will be set aside after the talk. Please come join in. *50 participant limit
