01 Japan Day 2011 - Tea Ceremony
© & (M) LGD 2011.
Auckland's annual Japan Day exhibition of Japanese products and culture.
Here a tea-ceremony is performed. One of many performed every 30 minutes (between 10am and 5pm) for the benefit of visitors.
Two days prior, an earthquake and devastating Tsunami struck Japan. The Japanese are a stoic people and the mood of the events wasn't noticeably down (although this was my first Japan Day, so I have no point of comparison).

Visitors got to play a game of cards (Karuta comes from the Portuguese carta, meaning cards) with an expert at the game (presumably).

04 Timing is everything
© & (M) LGD 2011.
A food product needs to be pounded. It's a two person job, where one hammers it down and the other uses a freshly wettened paddle to re-fold it up. Actually a third person calls out the timing, but presumably that's optional.

Here the pounding is done by the pro, but he was welcoming of men who had parters to impress to have a go.
