A new “wa” space has been created at the school! It features tatami chairs and shoji-style tapestries. Many students have never touched tatami before. I hope they take the opportunity to enjoy the pleasant scent of igusa and the soft, comfortable feel of sitting on tatami.

Here are scenes from the "Odore Nishi-Hachi Summer Festival" held recently in front of the school (Nishi-Hachioji Station). The festival is small in scale but very lively, and the students said they enjoyed it a lot. Nishi-Hachioji is also planning another festival in November. Hachioji is a great city for international students to experience Japanese culture firsthand!

Many students enrolled this year too! Their traditional costumes are beautiful. They will study in Nishi-Hachioji for one to two years. We will teach not only Japanese but also proper Japanese manners. They are all excellent students, so please give them your support!

We were invited by the ballet studio next to our school to a ballet performance. We watched it at J:COM Hall in front of Hachioji Station. The beautiful ballet and wonderful live music left everyone spellbound…✨ It became a very lovely memory 😊

In Mongolia, people keep the anklebone of sheep and goats, called shagai, instead of throwing it away. A tradition says that discarding these bones brings bad luck, so every household saves them in a bone container. Children use the bones for play and learning. For example, they play games similar to Japanese ohajiki and do addition and subtraction with the bones. The bones displayed at the multicultural exhibition held in Hachioji in March are now posted at the school entrance. If you live nearby, please come see and touch them!

On March 24, I participated in the 3rd Multicultural Coexistence Photo Exhibition held at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe, a five-minute walk from hachioji station. Students from our school introduced the cultures of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Mongolia. The Bangladeshi students also ran a henna corner called mehendi, where people lined up because it was so popular✨
