Feedback from our students:
The step-by-step videos are well divided: that way, even beginners who never did Tsumami Zaiku are able to get started.
The Course Texts were very valuable! Making Tsumami Zaiku is nice, but getting to know about Japanese History related to it is even better!
I tried making a kanzashi once so I somehow had an idea on how to assemble a kanzashi, but it was really nice to see how to make one in detail, and thanks to that,
I also finally learned how to use the provided kanzashi clip (I bought some in Japan a few years ago, and never get to know how to use them before that lesson).
