Visit me @ Ginzafest this weekend for Japanese food, music, acupuncture. 435 w menomonee, S of Armitage, Chicago. http://tiny.cc/5kpzn
The 55th Annual Ginza Holiday, a large Japanese cultural festival, will be presented by the Midwest Buddhist Temple on August 13th, 14th, and 15th at 435 W. Menomonee Street in Chicago’s historic Old Town.
Flown in from Toyko for this event, four master craftsmen (Waza) will demonstrate their generations-old skills creating their unique crafts. The public will have the opportunity to meet the Waza and purchase their crafts. The Waza create collectible pieces that often fetch many times their purchase price in the after market. Several other exhibits and booths will be filled with Japanese dry goods and snacks, children’s toys, kimonos, jewelry, anime and origami folding.
