A community event to experience Japanese culture was held at ARI!
Participants dressed in yukata and enjoyed various stations featuring traditional Japanese activities such as origami, tea ceremony, ayatori, and sushi rolling. There was also a live shamisen performance, and the event ended on a warm note with everyone dancing the bon odori together.
It was truly impressive to see participants from diverse backgrounds earnestly learning about Japanese culture while deepening their connections. Through opportunities like this, understanding and respect for different cultures are fostered, making it a valuable experience for all participants.
