Join us for a Sunday afternoon Miura Sketch and Word Crawl at
the Sakurai's 100-year
old Temple House Gallery and points surrounding. Participants will
travel to Akiya, then wander freely about the house and temple/graveyard
sketching and writing, (poems, story ideas, picture book plots…). If weather
permits, a walk along the river on the Emperor's Hiking Trail will follow, ending
with a visit to Tateishi, where Hiroshige, during the Edo-period, sketched one of
his images for the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji."
See this blog post .
Throughout the day we'll talk and share ideas and results.
Meet at 10:45 a.m. at the Central Exit (beach side) of Zushi Station
on the JR Yokosuka Line (look for someone waving the SCBWI Tokyo logo paper).
Our rough plan is as follows: 11:00 a.m. departure (a thirty-minute bus ride,
ocean and Mt. Fuji view, part way, at least); visit at the Temple House Gallery
(bring your own lunch) with a sketch and write; a short meet-up to talk and share;
a walk along the river on the Emperor's Hiking Trail with more sketching and writing;
a 15-minute walk along the beach to Tateishi, where we'll share our writing and
make our way back to Zushi station by 5 pm.
In case of rain, bring umbrellas and meet up as planned!
