Japanese Windchime Weekend Workshop みんなで風鈴作りました！– TUJ Activities
On June 19, TUJ students participated in a workshop and made their own traditional Japanese windchime.
Japanese windchimes, or fuurin, originally come from China, where they began to be popular over 1000 years ago. During the Edo period, these windchimes became spread around Japan, being produced in both glass and metal.
The sound of these bells evokes summer, and so our students decided to take this opportunity to have one of them ready for this season.
The workshop took place at Shinohara Maruyoshi Fuurin. This place is one of the two workshops in Tokyo where wind chimes are still being produced with the same techniques used in the Edo period. The techniques have been passed down from father to son and our students had the privilege to use them.
In the first part of this workshop, the students blew glass to create the main bell In the first part of the workshop, the students blew glass to create the main bell of the fuurin. Blowing is very important, as blowing too hard can break the glass. Blowing too softly could result in a bell that is too small and would not produce an optimal sound.
After creating the bell came the funnest part of the workshop − painting the wind chime! The Maruyoshi Fuurin staff presented summer motifs as suggestions, although TUJ students used their imaginations to create unique designs.

Splashing Fun Weekend with the Nagatoro River Rafting
On June 12, students from Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) enjoyed a weekend of river rafting on the Nagatoro River.
The Nagatoro River, in Chichibu (Saitama Prefecture), flows through a valley of the same name, famous for its lush nature. This river has been navigated for over 100 years, and even today a leisurely ride can be enjoyed in a traditional Japanese boat. However, TUJ students used inflatable boats and navigated the river rapids.
As the weather was warm, with temperatures over 25ºC, the students also enjoyed plunging into the cool waters of the river. The more adventurous jumped into the water from a small cliff! All this, of course, was supervised by Nagatoro Outdoor Center instructors.
After so much physical activity, the students enjoyed a barbecue on the river bank. And before returning to Tokyo, they stopped at a nearby onsen, where they relaxed in the warm waters that spring from the heart of Chichibu National Park.
See you at future TUJ activities!

In this exhibition, individuals display a group of works together that depict the fragmented reality in which many of us exist today. This theme is explored either physically or conceptually, some works being broken into parts like literal fragments, while others reflect pieces of the artist’s history, memory or reality.
