Amusing Folk Arts


     Folk means “people in general”. Have you ever seen the arts were made by ordinary people? Folks come from culture of community. One man donated many arts. These arts reflect value of community. These arts are very beautiful and wonderful, and fascinate many people.


     This exhibition expresses daily life of people. Some people work, and some people go to cemetery, and pray. Each person does own work. People can learn not only one part of people’s life but also whole people’s life from this exhibition.


     This exhibition expresses a circus. There are many kinds of animals like elephants, zebras and hippopotamus. Also, there are some people who are playing musical instrument. Only seeing this exhibition let people think how this circus is popular and lively.


     This exhibition expresses bullfighting. Bullfighting is developed in Spain, and brought to the New World by Spanish in the early 1500s. This exhibition shows many people are attracted by the skill and grace of bullfighting. Each person expresses own feelings like pleasure and enjoyment on own face. Each person was made delicately as if he/she really has own feelings.


     In this exhibition, there are many houses that look gorgeous castle and temple. These seem houses where people who are in a high position like noblemen live. Some people are spending their time, and enjoying. The time seems passes slowly in this exhibition.


     In this exhibition, some people were made of wood, and some people were made of real material. This seems contrast between important people and not important people. Some people wearing kimono looks like powerful and little scary people.

     Can you believe that ordinary person made these arts? These arts were made in detail. These arts are fabulous, awesome and stunning, and people might feel warmth of person who made these arts. Also, these arts are very appealing, so many people visit this museum.

Neccesary Shopping

I can do amazing shopping in the U.S. I don’t actually go shopping so often in Japan because I don’t want to spend money. However, I can’t help buying things here. One of the reasons I love the U.S. is shopping. I am so excited to go shopping here more than in Japan. A shopping in America is fantastic for three reasons. My Favorite Clothes of Holister First of all, there are many kinds of shops in Spokane. That means I have many choices to buy something. In Japan, I can’t buy easily things I want because Japan doesn’t have my favorite shops. In addition, I have to pay more in Japan than in America. If someone asks me my recommendation in America, I’d introduce incredible shops, such as Hollister , Bath and Body , Victoria’s Secret , and American Eagle , and Yankee. These shops are highly famous in the U.S, and I can't buy products of Hollister and Bath and body and Victoria’s Secret in Japan except online shopping. The other thing, I can visit other shops in Japan, but I’m s...

My Tremendous Portland Trip

     Have you ever been to Portland? I could learn a lot of things in Portland. I like Portland so much. Especially, I enjoyed Portland English Language Academy, McLoughlin House and Powell's City of Books.      First, Portland English Language Academy was an enjoyable place for me. Before I entered the class, I was really nervous, because I can't keep talking with people whom I meet for the first time. However, this time was totally different. I had an activity of conversation to talk with every student. It made me comfortable. After that activity, I had a conversation about students' research such as selfie and future jobs. It was really interesting for me because I could hear various opinions about that. Then, the teacher recommended international students to talk about three favorite places in Portland. I learned more about Portland. Those activities were really helpful for me to talk with international students.   ...

My Precious Experience

 The Awesome View at the Fair I have been having a good time since I came here. The teachers, RAs and staff at MFWI welcomed us warmly, so I was very happy and I am also happy now. My life at MFWI is little different from the last semester, but I'm really enjoying this life. Anyway, we went to  the Spokane Interstate Fair  on Tuesday, and I had wonderful experiences that I had never experienced before.  The food was very appetizing. First, I was very hungry when we arrived there, so I ate a funnel cake, a big piece of chicken and some pizza. I had never eaten such a big cake and a piece of chicken, so I was excited and happy to eat them. They were very tasty, so I wanted to eat more food. Then, I noticed that a difference between America and Japan. Japanese festivals or fairs also have many branch stores and the food they serve...
