Without truth, honesty, and courtesy is a farce and a play!<\/h1>\n

This was the words of “Nitobe Inazo” who studied in the suburbs of Philadelphia the early Meiji era. He participated in the meeting at Morris House (main building) together with “Uchimura Kanzo” .
\nWell, let me explain the words at the first paragraph. There are the four Confucian virtues \u201cbenevolence, justice, courtesy, and wisdom\u201d (Jin, Gi, Rei, Chi). Among them, especially “Rei” is a concrete representation of spiritual wealth. If that “Rei” is done by pressing, or if it is just a form, it can\u2019t be helped even if it is told that it is a play or a farce.
\nThe important thing is to be faithful and honest. We want to live faithfully every day.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for supporting us at Mochi Tuki Event!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week, we celebrated New Year’s Mochi Tsuki Event with all students.
\nDespite having the event at a different building as usual and having minor problems, we were able to run smoothly the event.
\nI was very happy to hear that my students said \u201cdelicious!\u201d with shinning eyes. I really appreciate volunteers who helped on the day, persons who lent the equipment, teachers, secretariat, class mothers of second semester, high school students, and students of adult classes.
\nBryn Mawr Japanese Church let us use the mortar and pestle and the ingredients for Mochi were donated by MAIDO. I’d like to express my deepest appreciation for all your help and support.
\nIn addition, our event department will take over the event next year. Please continue your cooperation.
