Bonjour Paris ! (Activities for Japanese and visitors interested in Japanese culture)

For Japanese visitors, she organises activities such as learning how to paint on silk in the company of Parisians or trying out French songs along with a musician from Paris. For people interested in Japanese culture, her arts and crafts boutique, Manekineko de Montmartre is a real Aladdin’s cave, and she organises specific cultural workshops: origami, calligraphy, and how to prepare sushi or traditional Japanese home-made food. Also Japanese language and shiatsu massage classes are offered at this mini-cultural center.

They start again at the beginning of September: calligraphy, origami for adults, cookery courses (sushi and Japanese family cooking). Japanese language courses and origami courses for children begin on 24 September, and shiatsu on 7 October. For more information, tel. 01 42 64 52 78 or call in at the craft store.

Also, because Tomoko wanted French people, - her neighbours, as well as visitors - to find out more about Japanese culture, her culture, she organizes special events in front of her boutique of Japanese arts and crafts, to mark Japanese festivals; and she encourages encounters between Japanese residents - or visitors - and Parisians.
