    This year, our slogan is “Discover Japan”. We have improved our program and exhibition to suit it. After presenting the same event at Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois for 23 years, we moved to the Forest View Education Center, (2121 S. Goebbert Rd.

    * The attractions include various demonstrations: Taiko Drums, Koto, Shinobue, Okinawa Taiko and Dances, Choirs, Japanese Classical Dances, Minyo Dances, Aikido, Judo, Karate, etc.
    * Additional demonstration and exhibits are Chano-Yu (Tea Ceremony), Ikebana (Japanese Flower Arrangements), Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy) and Miyuki Flowers (Silk Flowers).
    * Taste of Japan has been always been the center of attraction. Last year, we served Teriyaki, Yakitori, Yakisoba, Takoyaki and so on.
    * Other exhibits from talented people will be presented. Most of those are for sale at the tables: Various Hand Crafts, Sumie, Brush Paints, Cards, Japanese Folklore Books, Fabric Crafts and Kimono.
    * Information Tables will also presented by Travel Agents and other Japanese Organizations.
