The 4th Annual Nihon Matsuri shares and educates the larger Utah community about Japanese and Japanese American culture, history, and traditions. The event was initiated as a way to pass on the Japanese traditions and culture to younger fifth, sixth, and seventh generation Japanese Americans and to help them identify with their heritage. 

Nihon (Japan) Matsuri (Festival) will include artist demonstrations of tea ceremony, calligraphy, doll making, martial arts such as karate, kendo, iaido, and aikido; performances of odori (dancing), singing, taiko (drums); a fashion show; displays of ikebana (flower arrangements), bonsai, paintings, dolls, historical photographs; hands-on art projects for children; and much more. A variety of Japanese food will also be available. 
 

Event Location: Japantown Street, 100 South, and between 200 West and 300 West.
