Etegami Workshop

Join the Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI) Coordinator, Yuka Yoshida, to learn the art of etegami!

Etegami is a type of Japanese postcard founded by Kunio Koike. It combines simple drawings with short handwritten messages. Using everyday objects as your subjects, you can create an etegami in a short time and send it to family, friends, or someone special.

The motto of etegami is "Heta de ii, Heta ga ii", which means "it's okay to be unskilled; being unskilled is good". The most important thing is not creating perfect art, but putting your heart into your work and expressing yourself. Why not create an etegami that is uniquely yours?

Registration is required.

This event is part of International Education Week and is supported by the Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU).
