I went to Tokyo with two other people over the weekend to attend a workshop about IT tools and AI for teachers. Then, some of us went to a public bath before the evening party. I’ve never seen such a full bathhouse! “That’s Tokyo,” I thought. “Even the bathhouses are crowded!” Later, at the party, I had a chance to talk to teachers who use Jaremaga for their classes. I asked them what stories their students liked, and I was happy to hear that they all liked different stories. I certainly agree with the idea that “variety is the spice of life.” We had more variety the next day, too. We went to a special Hokusai exhibition near Tokyo Station. I didn’t know that Hokusai was called “the father of manga,” but after seeing his “yomihon” novels, I understand why.    (146 words)
