Sakura House celebrated 8th anniversary!!!

Thanks to everyone, Sakura House had 8th anniversary on March 16 2017. So we had the special event to celebrate our anniversary.

For the game program, we played the build-the-tree game associating cherry trees.

Our seniors were trying to pile up the cups very carefully, and after making the tree, they showed us the best smiles!

  

After the game session, we made the Sakura shaped cookies. 

Everyone loves cooking. They all enjoyed making Sakura shaped cookies.

 

While baking the cookies, we watched the slide show with the memorial pictures in 2016.

We had many events such as the summer festival, Halloween, Christmas in 2016.

After the slide show, it’s snack time! Everyone enjoyed their own cookies.

    

 

We really appreciate to have precious time with our seniors.

We continue to do our best to bring smiles to everyone!!

Setsubun!

February 3rd is the day of Setsubun.

Setsubun refers to the day before the beginning of each season.

Out of all the 4 Setsubun days, Risshun (the first day of spring) is the most special day.

It is believed that Oni(Ogre) comes when the seasons change in Japan.

There are many rituals to exorcise these Oni and invite fortune.

 

At Sakura House, we played a game to bust Oni by throwing balls.

We also made Ehomaki (a long sushi roll) and ate them praying for happiness throughout the year.

In the afternoon, Oni showed up and came to attack us.

Everyone was so hard to try to exorcise Oni saying  “Oniwa-soto” meaning “Ogres out!”.

 

In A&C session, everyone made a Oni mask or a god of fortune mask and showed them to their family member.

      

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year 2017!!

On the first day of 2017 at Sakura House, we had the programs related to Osyougatsu(New Year).

Our seniors enjoyed playing card games such as Karuta, Bozu mekuri to make them feel the new year.

 

We would like to extend the best wishes from the Sakura House members to yours! 

May the New Year bring only good things to all of you!
