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.

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.

I learned a lot about Japanese culture which values hardworking, attention to detail, and perseverance- values which I hope to always integrate into my future school and artwork.
