This morning I will leave for Okinawa, so yesterday was officially my last full day in Studio Kasen. It also happened to be Father's Day, happy Father's Day dads everywhere. I got to spend Father's Day with my Japanese father, Sensei. We went out for dinner and he even called me his American daughter haha. We got soba noodles for dinner at a restaurant that actually uses some of his table ware. We got to eat part of our meal off of Sensei's plates. it was a very swanky place and it was really nice to sit and chat with Sensei. I got to pick his brain and he gave me some wonderful advice. This experience has been amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Before dinner, I spent the day helping Megumi gather pieces for an exhibition for Sensei and make inventory. I also packed up my things in preparation of leaving today. I will miss this place and the people here, but I plan on returning and Sensei and I already in cahoots for getting him out to Illinois. I am excited and I can't wait to be reunited with my wonderful Japanese family.
