Okami are the female managers of ryokan, the traditional Japanese inns. Eight okami-san from eight celebrated inns across Japan will share their daily responsibilities and give advice on how to make the most of a visit to a ryokan, its facilities, like hot spring and tell us about their daily responsibilities at the Global Lounge, G/F, Fong Shu Chuen Amenities Centre, Main Campus of HKU on Friday, 12:45-1:45pm.

Okami-san not only manage their ryokan, but are often responsible for keeping many cultural traditions alive. They will demonstrate how to put on a kimono properly and share the secrets of making pressed flowers at the University Museum and Art Gallery, 1/F, T T Tsui Building, Main Campus of HKU on Friday, 4:00-5:30pm.
