Corporate Team Building event

Last month we hosted a corporate team building event at our studio for a foreign company based in Yokohama.

We started off with a short presentation on wagashi (Japanese sweets), then moved on to actually making them. First we made two seasonal motifs, the sakura and the sakura leaf. 

Then each table had to undergo the task of making original designs based on the given theme.

This table's theme was "spring". Very original and creative, with spring colors!
Both teams did a brilliant job and it was a tough call, but as this is a team building event, we chose the spring team as all team members worked together to create one artwork, 

Congrats to the winning team. They won a prize!

This table's theme was "Autumn" with autumn flowers, autumn leaf and pumpkin. What a great job!

A big hand to the autumn team. although, they didn't win the team award, one of the members received the best nerikiri award.  

After the award ceremony, they all ate one of their creations with a bowl of matcha they learn how to whisk themselves as well as learning the etiquette on how to drink matcha.

A big thank you for giving us the opportunity to host this fun event. All of our instructors also enjoyed this event too.  I personally realized again how wagashi making can be such a fun team building event with a bit of competition.
