Ms. Kimie Oshima: Portraits of a Rakugo Artist

Ms. Kimie Oshima gave her lecture on the use of rakugo as an English tool of communication. I was there to capture her wonderful personality in a series of portraits. I hope to see her perform soon.

Some Thoughts on One of UFRA's new Classes

This Spring UFRA has begun to offer some new classes. A
student writes to offer her experience in one of them:
One of UFRA’s new classes this Spring is the Mixed
Media Art Class taught by Jacob Schere. I attended the
first lesson and enjoyed it very much! The semester has 12
classes and we are going to work on 6 art projects, such as
stencil art, T-shirt designing, and linoleum printing. We
started with the creation of colorful collages – and the
interesting thing was that just after one class you could
see how much hidden imagination we have! I hope we’ll
be able to show our work in UFRA’s multi-cultural
exhibition in July.
