Highlights include butoh dance from Kokoro Dance, Kintsugi—an interactive internment installation by Annie Sumi and Brian Kobayakawa, and a screening of local artist Cindy Mochizuki’s Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama. The program also features panels, walking tours, martial arts, taiko drumming, a sumo tournament, Japanese food and craft booths, children’s activities, and more.
