Aspects of the Orient,konnichiwa Crookwell!
Our guest speaker for May was Jenny Readhead who has visited Japan many times. Jenny was accompanied by an almost life size Sumo wrestler, well actually he was depicted on a curtain.
Jenny travelled by train and immersed herself in the local culture.
From the atomic blast museum to the colourful festivals with archers on horseback, from the monks in the mountain temples to the elaborate tea ceremonies and the new season green tea ice cream, Jenny has experienced it all and had the audience captivated.
