Event Details

Please join us for a presentation about Japanese holidays throughout the year. You'll learn about the different holidays and celebrations of Japanese culture, which took place thousands of years ago in ancient Japan and are now held annually throughout the year. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, Miki will guide you through the seasonal traditions of Japanese culture.


This presentation is given by Miki Takayama, who was born and raised in Sendai, Japan. Miki has been a member of the Japan America Society of Iowa since 2011 and is pleased to share her Japanese culture with the communities in Iowa.

This program is brought to the Library by CultureAll. Founded in 2005, the organization is a premier provider of authentic, interactive learning experiences that engage Iowans in cultural discovery that promotes equity and inclusion.
