Week 10 Summary

1. Sharing last week’s content 

• We had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Kinoshita, the 8th-generation successor of Shichijo Kanshundo, a traditional confectionery shop with a 161-year history. 

• He talked with us about the differences between wagashi and Kyogashi, what wagashi truly represents, and even answered questions about his career. 🌟

2. Analyzing messages conveyed through video expressions  

• Everyone introduced short videos they found—such as a social satire using hamburgers and a video about supporting people with disabilities. 

• The hamburger video, in particular, left a strong impression and sparked active discussion within the group, deepening our understanding. 🌟 

3.Watching the video created by the ES

• You watched the video I created last year. We viewed it twice—did your impressions change before and after watching it? 🐈 

4. What do “hannari,” “mattari,” and “hokkori” mean? 

• We explored the image and nuance of each expression through brainstorming. 💡 

•  We discovered that the difference between mattari and hokkori lies in whether the feeling involves the passage of time. 

• It was also interesting that many of you associated hokkori with cats or children!
