The JCCC will be opening their doors to everyone as they celebrate a weekend filled with activities, entertainment and exhibits all associated with the many festivals celebrated across Japan in the Spring!!

Spring Festival/ Haru Matsuri will also include Japanese arts and crafts demonstrations such as Ikebana (flower arranging), Bunka Shishu (embroidery), and Sumi-e (brush painting).

The JCCC's martial artists will demonstrate the techniques of "The Way of the Warrior" through Aikido, Karate, Jodo, Iaido, Naginata, Kyudo and Kendo.

For entertainment, there will be odori (traditional Japanese dancing) by JCCC traditional dance groups Ayame-Kai, Himawari Buyo Kai and Sakura-Kai, Koto and Shamisen by the Kiri Koto Ensemble and Taiko (Japanese drumming). Japanese cuisine will also be available in the food court.

As always, the JCCC entrance will feature an elaborate display of Hina Matsuri Dolls. For a small fee visitors can have the opportunity to dress in traditional costume then head on over to the display to take their own photos.
