Welcome to the start of the course<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I've been practising *hemsl\u00f6jd* for 42 years. The original meaning of *hemsl\u00f6jd* is \"homemade\". In Sweden, there's a history of promoting *hemsl\u00f6jd* due to a sense of crisis that traditional handcrafts were being lost due to industrialisation brought about by the Industrial Revolution. Nowadays, handmade items are thought of as a time-consuming luxury, but this is only looking at the final product. Whether it's embroidery or cooking, when you make something yourself, the process of making it is enjoyable, and the sense of accomplishment when it's finished is also exceptional. It offers a luxurious amount of time that doesn't depend on the things that flood the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, the newly launched \"Life Seminar\" has been designed to return to the origins of Hemsl\u00f6jd, incorporating courses related to clothing, food, shelter, and culture. We hope that these small-group courses, led by specialists in their respective fields, will serve as an opportunity to re-examine what is truly important in one's life and daily living.

The Wonders of English<\/strong>
Lecturer: Kazuyoshi Yamauchi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The English word \"discover\" originally meant \"to remove a cover\", and English itself has many strange things when you take the cover off.
Why aren\u2019t the \u2018k\u2019 and \u2018b\u2019 in \u2018know\u2019 and \u2018doubt\u2019 pronounced? Why are \u2018myself\u2019 and \u2018yourself\u2019 possessive forms, whereas \u2018himself\u2019 and \u2018themselves\u2019 are objective forms?
Just thinking about it, when you look at English historically, you encounter all sorts of curiosities, such as those concerning pronunciation, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and usage. Through them, you can also gain insight into how English-speaking people feel and think. Would you like to join me on a journey to discover the wonders of English?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nordic confectionery and bread making<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instructor: Takeshi Takahashi, Cafe YLVA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Department store basements and convenience stores are overflowing with confectionery from famous brands and mass-produced sweets. However, originally, sweets were made in each household to delight family and friends. In Northern Europe, home baking is still popular today, and in this course, we will make Scandinavian sweets using easily available ingredients and household utensils. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the pleasure of sweets being made by hand and the deliciousness of freshly baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructor Profile
Born in Musashino, Tokyo, he worked as a systems engineer for a computer manufacturer for 10 years after graduating from the Faculty of Engineering. Having decided to open a caf\u00e9, he trained in confectionery at a Western-style patisserie in Nagoya. He returned to Tokyo to work as the dessert chef at a restaurant. In June 2009, he opened TOQUIO, a hidden-gem caf\u00e9 in Minami-Aoyama, serving delicious coffee and handmade sweets. He is currently working as the resident chef at Caf\u00e9 YLVA on the second floor of the Yamanashi Hemsl\u00f6jd House.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
