opportunity to take home our carvings plus picked sansai and also each a lovely
lacquered OZEN Japanese table, on which our lunch will be served. (Size 33 cm x

These antique OZEN treasures were made in the earlyTaishyo
period (1912-26) by Sasaki Shirobei, who was a rich farmer of the day in Miyata.
Mr & Mrs Kawaii inherited these OZEN
from ancestors. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to buy such precious
artifacts.

carving, lunch, drinks, ozen and the wonderful experience of the day is: Lunch Y2,500, Ozen Y2,500 total Y5,000. Students: Lunch Y1,500.
Things to bring with you for the day:
1. A towel
2. Gloves to
help you pick the mountain vegetables
3. In case of
rain, an umbrella
4. A carving
knife, which you can find at Aeon Mall
5. Wrapping to
take home the OZEN.
The outing will finish at 3 p.m.
Please let’s all enjoy this unique and wonderful
hospitality with Mr & Mrs Kawaii yet again.
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you all
again very soon.
