Masks
Wearing masks has been a regular feature of life in Japan for quite a while. In some cases they are used for colds, while in others they are used for allergies. They are used in other instances, too. Maybe we will get a student to write about this in a future blog post. But you can see all the students are used to wearing them when needed.
Traditionally, only one type of mask was used. The very visible, plain white mask. But now we can wear a variety (within reason) all around - even at school! Here are some of the different ones you can see us teachers wearing. (Special thanks to Ito Sensei and her mom for the ones shown here.)
