He is an expert doing bamboo, and when friends of Mr. Hotlas came in, Mr. Hotla would ask Pete to paint bamboo, which they would admire very much and I would do orchids. The Kyoto boy had to return home so the Student helped tell us things by looking up words in a Japanese-English dictionary. He found "admire" and "gratitude" which were used to express the friends feelings. One day he said "customer" which was supposed to indicate what the friend wanted Pete to draw but we looked rather blank so he found the word "liberty" which we decided meant a free hand drawing. It really was funny at times. The last day we were there, Saturday, several friends came in, two men in the morning who stayed for lunch. One was "Melody" and played on the Samisen for after lunch, Mr Hotla singing with him. They looked very serious when they sang and then suddenly would break off laughing. I never could quite make out whether it was the real end of the song or not. Mr Hotla even danced for us which was great fun. Several more friends arrived later on, and there were eight or ten sitting around. X We didn't paint much then but Mr Hotla spent the rest of the afternoon finishing ptting pictures in our books. He made the most beautiful cranes, pheasant, owl, tiger and Mt. Fuji, while we admired, drank tea and let our legs sleep. The lessons were most interesting though really five would have been almost enough. However Mrs Miyaoka had engaged him for the ten days and we felt we should study that long. We were glad we did in the end, for it was really a wonderful method of painting that we studied. Also the weather was pretty cold and rainy to do much else, and the Cherry Trees are only just coming out now. It has been a very late spring. | m36_i_a_2b_i_94_08_02figures instead.
