Festival to Celebrate Japanese Culture
Japanese music, dancing and food will be among the highlights of the annual Japanese Cultural Festival scheduled for Sunday in Camarillo.
“We have many new artists this year, including the Togen Daiko drum group and demonstrations of kendo [Japanese fencing], Okinawa dance and karate,” said Carolyn Morinishi, a spokeswoman for the event’s sponsor, the Ventura County chapter of the Japanese-Americans Citizens League. “Special activities for children will feature storytelling and Japanese crafts.”
A traditional Japanese tea ceremony, flower arranging, bonsai exhibits and free Japanese food tasting are also part of the activities.
Admission is $10 for a family of four or $5 for adults and $3 for children, students and senior citizens.
The festival runs from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Camarillo Community Center, 1605 E. Burnley St.
