	      April 6th, 2019     Annual Meeting Little Japanese
	      Girl
 
	        
	      This lovely Little Japanese Girl worked
	      in Rozashi is a traditional oriental motif often used to fete the occasion
	      Girls Doll Festival Day which is celebrated on March
	      3rd.  On this day at home, dolls are displayed on shelves
	      and girls are dressed in their finest clothes, and often taken to nearby
	      shrines to thank guardian deities for their healthy growth and good
	      health.  This custom is also observed to help teach young girls
	      femininity.  This ancient Japanese technique employs silk and metallic
	      threads on a specially woven silk canvas-like fabric called Ro.  The
	      thread used is a twisted silk thread and a metallic laquered thread with
	      a silk core.  Four basic Rozashi stitches will be taught with some
	      variations.  Finishing techniques will be explored.
