Origami, the art of folding paper, derives from two words (oru) meaning to fold and (kami) meaning paper.   Its has was also been called orikata (the way of folding), as well as, orimono (folded thing); however these terms have fallen out of use in modern times.   The best known form of origami is the Japanese Crane.

Every time I go to Japan I learn more and more about the culture, lifestyle and language. It is with the help of my friends there that I am able to participate in many activities that most tourists will never find. These are the moments I live for when I am in Japan.

On November 15, I accompanied Carl Rosa of the Houston Sushi Club to Japan.   Carl was acting as tour guide for 4 first-time travelers to Japan.  First time to Japan!  I remember all the nervous excitement I felt during my first trip to Japan.  As this was Carl’s group I tried my best to be helpful without getting in the way. I provided assistance and Japanese-English translation when needed.

The Japanese Culture Society reserved a private room at Sushi Jin to let all the karaoke kings and queens let their voices be heard.  Heard they were!

The Japanese Culture Society was pleased to be able to provide assistance at the 12th Annual Houston Grand Taiko Festival. This is first year the JCS has been a part of the event and the fifth year the JCS Chairman Russell Rice has personally assisted at the festival.

I always love to go to Japan.   The opportunity to visit friends, the chance to further my study of the language and of course shopping is always a must. However,  this trip was special because it was my birthday.  I landed in Tokyo on the day of my birthday that was such a really great birthday present.   Further more when I got to Yokkaichi (which is a small city near Nagoya, Japan) my friends held a birthday party for me.   I was speechless; it was beyond anything I had expected.
