Program Reviews:
Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of the program non-academically was the Kyoto leg of the trip, we got to see so many incredible sites in such a unique city. Academically, I really loved learning about how to make paper, and then the mokuhanga workshop at MiLab.

Summer 2024 Participant
(Not sure I'm answering this question correctly, but) I learned that it can be quite an intense process to create an extensive form of art such as mokuhanga in such a short amount of time, and that it's normal to feel a bit overwhelmed as a result, but to not be too hard on yourself. The welcoming and friendly environment combined with people whose company I truly enjoyed helped ease the stress of the art-making process, and made it enjoyable overall.

Summer 2024 Participant
I found that visiting a variety of different places and seeing/learning about so many different kinds of art was the most rewarding part of the program, as I feel that we learned/were able to see so much more than if we had stayed in one place. It truly felt like we were immersed in the culture and the different art scenes of Japan.
