Los Angeles unveils virtual offerings, spotlighting top-rated content in manga art, gastronomy, cinema, and floral design.
The Los Angeles hub of a renowned Japanese cultural destination is launching a virtual program of their most popular education and entertainment workshops. Funded by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the website Los Angeles offers a place of new discovery that transcends physical and conceptual boundaries.
In the upcoming series, participants can immerse themselves in a four-part Manga & Anime-Inspired Character Drawing Workshop series, released bi-weekly. The first episode, titled "Emotions with a Simple Smiley Face," guides students on drawing basic emotions, setting the stage for further lessons on character design, styles, and techniques. Future episodes will cover building characters, drawing animals, and drawing characters in perspective.
For those with a green thumb, two flower arrangement tutorials will be offered. Mitsuko Osuga's tutorial emphasizes vibrant colors and achieving balance, while participants can use common household items for their arrangements. Takeshi Nakamura's tutorial utilizes common greens, flowers, and stones found in personal gardens and neighborhoods for unique creations.
Foodies won't want to miss the Japanese Food Lab Home Cooking Series, which features a variety of themes, healthy recipes, and ingredients. The first episode features a recipe for Sakura Carrot Spring Rice (Takikomi Gohan). The series will also offer tips on making ramen, content about regional ramen, and suggestions for enhancing at-home ramen.
Cinephiles can join the Movie & Bites series, which pairs dishes with the 1985 Japanese comedy film "Tampopo" for its first installment. The series will offer insights into ramen culture and tips on recreating the film's iconic dishes at home.
The virtual program can be found on the events or articles pages of the website Los Angeles, located at 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028.
