JAPANESE CULTURAL FAIR
Previous Years' Event

This is the fifth year that SCZC has participated in the fair by hosting an ikebana demonstration, a shakuhachi (Japanese flute) concert, and a traditional japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu).

Nelson Lee performs traditional and original compositions on the bamboo flute, called the Shakuhachi.

Suiun Matano and two of her students demonstrate the beautifully articulated art of flower arrangement. Some of the arrangements have been passed down many generations.

Everyone in the audience is served tea after having a "sweet".

Sangha member, Carl Christensen, prepares to make green tea.

 

Suiun Matano, instructor for the Ikenobo Ikebana Group, answers a question.
