Everyone's Dinner

Ono Karori

The Masami Tokuda exhibition began on November 16th.
Over 300 pieces that he has continued to make by hand. He has been making furniture for over 20 years, and says that he has seen how wood changes, so it feels like his pottery will be with him forever. He told me with a straight face that no matter how much something is chipped, if it's wood, it can be repaired.
The exhibition will be on until the 24th of this month. On the final day, Mr. Tokuda will be in the gallery, so please come and talk to him about trees, fishing, surfing, music, and life. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun and smile.
We look forward to seeing you all.
During the exhibition, the artist will be staying at my house and we will all enjoy a fun dinner together.
In order to prepare meals quickly on the day of the exhibition, I start preparing the day before, but this time I did it with my daughter, who has recently become very keen to help out.
My daughter is humming the song Paprika and Lemon that she learned with her brother recently. I thought she was in a good mood after smashing the pumpkin, but it seems that it didn't go the way she wanted, so she started complaining and getting angry. Recently, she has been saying "It's Mommy's fault" and is a wonderful assistant. The pumpkin was smashed properly, so I'm glad. I wonder if one day I'll plan a menu with my daughter. I look forward to it.
The girls help with cooking dinner, but sometimes the writers and chefs cook it too. There are lots of new discoveries, and everyone asks each other questions in the kitchen, creating a friendly atmosphere.
The children were of course lively at the table, but the adults were just as lively.
From serious topics to silly topics.
Faces light up and laughter rings out.
Sometimes it gets late at night.
A fun and enjoyable dinner is a very important moment.
