Crafting Tradition: A Journey with Teacher Ayumichan at Odougubako
As the weeks went by, I found myself growing more confident in my abilities. Ayumichan encouraged me to experiment with different designs and techniques, which allowed me to develop my own unique style. I was amazed at how much I could create with my own hands, and I began to see the world in a different light. odougubako teacher ayumichan and me odougu better
Ayumichan is not your typical sensei. She doesn’t wear a black belt or carry a wooden sword. Instead, she wears a canvas apron with seventeen pockets (each pocket holding a specific tool, from a stubby pencil to a folding ruler). She is in her late 30s, with ink-stained fingers and the calm, observant eyes of someone who has spent years learning the quiet language of objects.
