On February 11, 2021 we will be unveiling a mural and artworks created by Japanese artist Kaoru Shibuta, followed by a live interview between he and our director John Teply. 
And we have a very exciting schedule of events shaping up for that night to celebrate Japanese cultural heritage! 

We will kick it off with a virtual cooking class led by Chef David Edwards of NanBan PDX. Chef Edwards is known for his "renegade approach" to Japanese cuisine.

We will also get to enjoy some fantastic traditional Japanese folktale storytelling by Alton Chung, as well as an exciting musical performance by Yumi Torimaru of Kotori Japanese Music.
