Japanese March 6-7, 2003: Senior meeting in Kagoshima
	I visited Kagoshima city to attend "Senior meeting" to be held in Well View Hotel.
Through the large window, I can see volcano Sakurajima across the bay. The top of the mountain is in the cloud, however. The meeting started at 3:00 p.m. Many attendants gather from all around Kyushu Island.
Many handworks are displayed like this.
From Oita GOF, we displayed the commemorative tapestry we had made before and short cushions to be used in our new house under construction. A home page that records the process of making the tapestry was also displayed.
	Kitakyushu GOF Knits, dyed goods, and bags.
Fukuoka GOF Woolen balls, floor cushions made from waste pieces of cloth.
Kagoshima GOF Brilliant beautiful Hina Dolls made of kimono cloths.
	Nagasaki GOF Hand made mufflers and others.
Large embroidered bed covers Kurume GOF Tapestry
	Cloths from many GOFs. Reformed from kimono Yellow blouse was dyed with tall goldenrod.
The attendants are eager to look through.
Unfortunately, the second day opened in the rain as well.
The meeting was heated, however. Discussions crisscrossed the hall, from Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Oita groups.
	The age of the attendants ranges from 40s to 80s. We enjoyed warm exchange over the tea. See you again after three years.
