*The time is subject to change.

Join us on Thursday, August 1st, 5pm – 6:00pm in the Tateuchi Community Room for a lecture by Nobuko Horikawa.

This lecture will introduce the yokai culture in Edo-period Japan (1603-1867). Yokai are strange creatures that roughly translate into English as monster, spirit, demon, etc.  This lecture will discuss how yokai, which have a long history in folk narratives, came to be enjoyed by people as popular entertainment in urban centers during the Edo period.

Admission is free all day on August 1st for our Free First Thursday.

Final entry to the garden is 45 minutes before closing.
