Echizen Washi

The other day I went to have a small speech in front of the students. It was about my occupation; papermaking, creating art works, translating in Chinese and English, teaching English and so on... I wear lots of hats which is unusual in Japan.

It was my second time to be invited and there were fifteen around students joining.

I told them the most important thing in doing job is to smile to others ! and try to open your own heart against people. .... strange ?
