Here is my version of historical buildings for textile weaving in Tamanoi. See the photo below.

Buildings – quesadilla made from Swiss and Gyuyere cheeses with flour tortillas, Siding – espresso and water painted with a brush, Windows – cheese with food coloring marker details, Foliage – broccoli

We left Maki’s apartment in Osaka and traveled to my language partner Mariko’s home in Aichi prefecture. We have met weekly over video to practice language for nearly five years. For lunch we all went to a traditional café with a former language partner who is friends with Mariko and lives nearby. We stayed one night at her home and spent time with her two sons and young dog. It was a fun time!
