Oshogatsu Celebration – Friday, January 29th, 2 pm
In our virtual landscape, we are discovering ways to connect and celebrate in community. Join us for our Japanese New Year’s celebration, an auspicious occasion to ensure hope and goodwill upon the year ahead. Celebrate with us the new year of 2021, the year of the Ox
Honor our aging elders and celebrate 90+ years of living with a sweet tribute.
Experience Japanese cultural traditions through music and dance by Minyo artists Keiko Allen and Kimie Hoshi.
Special guest Kimi Takesue, filmmaker of “95 and 6 To Go” will share a short clip from the film and a reflection on what it was like to capture her grandfather Tom in his nineties for the film.
“’95 and 6 To Go’ is a funny, imaginative and warm film about the close relationship – and creative collaboration! – between grandfather and grandchild. Takesue’s film is a personal ‘home movie’ of the rare kind.” – CPH:DOX Film Festival
