Japan Fest- Now This Looks Cool
This loks like a lot of fun. I think Mrs. Loki and I will have to go. Check out the Press Release:
Japan Fest New Orleans 2007 will be held at the New Orleans Museum of Art on Sunday, June 10, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Japan Fest is an all-day event celebrating the culture and arts of Japan. The festival is FREE to Louisiana residents with photo identification. Japan Fest is organized by the Consulate General of Japan in New Orleans, the New Orleans Museum of Art and Japan Club.
Kaminari Taiko will be performing in the festival opening ceremony. This troupe from Houston has awed and delighted festival-goers in the past with their high-energy, dramatic Japanese drumming and this year should prove no different. Other demonstrations and performances for the day include: bonsai, anime films, origami lessons, martial arts demonstrations, raku pottery firing, folk arts demonstrations, haiku poetry, archery, Japanese dress-up, Zen meditation and Japanese music performances. Prizes, including two round-trip tickets to Japan and restaurant gift certificates, will be raffled at the end of the day. Raffle tickets can be purchased for one dollar, or six tickets for five dollars.
