This coming weekend, April 16-18, is the 2010 Seattle Cherry Blossom and Japanese Cultural Festival at the Seattle Center. The event will be a rich array of exhibits that will delight all of your senses.
The 2010 festival theme, “After 150 Years: Youth, Skateboarding and Hapa Experience,” celebrates the official ratification of the U.S.-Japan amity treaty. Highlights include:
· Photographic exhibit, “Scenes of Childhood: Sixty Year of Postwar Japan”
· Skateboarding activities and demonstrations by Japan’s Pro-Teen Element team and star skateboarder Ryo Sejiri
· Forum, “Hapa Experience,” exploring the identities, cultural traditions and experiences of Japanese mixed-race, including many prominent local Hapa
· Performance by Nanda, filled with stage combat, juggling and ninja-like acrobatics
And of course, origami! PAPER will have a booth at the festival. We will be teaching visitors young in age and young at heart how to fold flapping cranes and jumping frogs, among other models. We will also have an exhibit of our best pieces on display for the weekend. Look for us in the Fisher Pavilion, next to the Center House.
The hours of the festival are 10:00 am – 6:00 pm Friday and Saturday and 10:00 am – 5:00 pm on Sunday.
Here are directions for how to get to Seattle Center by car, bus, or monorail.
The Fisher Pavilion is number 37 on this map of the Center.
See you at the festival!
