Minatoku Project: the change of the theme

For the final project we were planning to do about Minatokuminn festival. Since it is Tokyo story class, we wanted to do something traditional Japanese. The traditional Japanese festival is something that is unique about Japan. So Nao and I were going to do project about Minatkuminn-festival.

But after we went to shoot the festival we had chance to talk with Nitta-san and we decided to expand the topic of our project. We got the idea from class today. So our theme will be "how it is for foreigners to go into the Japanese society feat. Temple." We decided to include Temple's activities with Minatoku, because Temple is a foreign university which is trying to be a part of Japanese community as a foreign institution. As the second step of our project, we are having an interview with Nittasan to interview him about the Minatokuminn-festival and other activities that Temple is doing to interact with Minatoku.
