Japanese Culture on display for Sakura
On Saturday, April 18, the Redlands Japanese Cultural Center hosted its first Sakura Festival at Escape Brewery on Stuart Street.
People were treated to traditional Taiko drumming, judo and jujitsu performances with weapons, and a kimono demonstration: the cultural meaning behind it, and a demonstration as to how to correctly put one on.
In addition, they held an origami workshop (the art and technique of paper folding) and bonsai presentations.
