      <image:title>Events Calendar - 9/13 (Fri) -- Moon Viewing 2024 | Day 02 - Friday Evening - Joan Laage/Kogut Butoh:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seattle resident and DAIPANbutoh Collective member, Joan Laage’s work focuses on butoh, a contemporary avant-garde dance form which erupted out of the turmoil and loss of identity of post WWII Japan. Hijikata Tatsumi, known as the principle founder, created the first butoh piece in 1959. Butoh’s co-founder Ohno Kazuo, along with his son Yoshito, performed in Seattle in the 1990s. Butoh combines dance, theater, improvisation and influences of Japanese traditional performing arts with German Expressionist dance (Neue Tanz) and performance art to create a unique performing art form that is both controversial and universal in its expression. The butoh dancer is commonly painted in white and inspired by nature imagery in all its beauty and grotesquerie. Butoh has evolved to become an international art form with artists and groups devoted to teaching and performing it throughout the world. Joan studied in Tokyo with the Ohnos and Hijikata’s protégé Ashikawa in the late 80s and performed with Ashikawa’s second company Gnome and is known as a NW butoh pioneer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Moon Viewing 2023 | Day 02 - Sat (SOLD OUT) - About Kazuko Kaya Yamazaki and Gabrielle Nomura Gainor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kazuko Kaya Yamazaki Growing up in Tokyo, Kaya began Japanese dance training at age four and received a master's license at age 18. After coming to the U.S., Kaya studied modern dance techniques and continued teaching Japanese dance. As dance critic George Jackson wrote, Kaya is "a versatile and vivid performer." Her repertoire spans from 18th-century Kabuki dances to her creations inspired by classical Japanese style and modern dance. Her distinctions include a Ph.D. in anthropology, Artist Trust Fellowship, Heritage Arts Apprentice Program master artist, and a Rockefeller Fellowship at the Asia-Pacific Performance Exchange residency. Kaya is the creator of the Yamazaki Method™, the world's first Japanese Dance training system registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.   Gabrielle Nomura Gainor Gabrielle Nomura Gainor makes dances for healing, for being together in community—and for reclaiming what it means to be Asian American. Classically trained in ballet, they studied dance and journalism in college—later getting involved in racial justice work and activism in Seattle. Today, she is honored to lead a diverse, intergenerational group of Asian American artists. In 2023, this ensemble performed at Pride ASIA, Hiroshima to Hope, and in a film version of "Sadako and the Cranes" produced by Trial &amp; Error Productions. This year, Gabrielle's work will also be included in a book of writing and art created by Okaeri, an LGBTQ+ Japanese American organization based in Los Angeles.

      <image:caption>This painting is of Juki Iida, a master gardener from Japan who was invited to design the Seattle Japanese Garden in 1959. Iida painted a scroll in ink during the three months in 1960 during garden construction. The scroll is a legacy of his vision and dedication to the care and preservation of our garden and is now located in the Special Collections Room of the Elisabeth C. Miller Library.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - 60th Anniversary Virtual Exhibit: 'Seeing | Seeds | Stories' - 'Richard Iwao Yamasaki / Black Pine'</image:title>
      <image:caption>Richard Yamasaki was one of the local Japanese American team who assisted Juki Iida in the installation of the Garden. Mr. Iida mentored Mr. Yamasaki, and at the end of their 15 year mentorship, Mr. Iida left Mr. Yamasaki with a last lesson, “No matter how beautifully a garden is designed, all is lost without proper and timely care.” - Rumi Tsuchihashi is the Stewardship and Events Coordinator at Seattle Japanese Garden, and the blog editor Upon his retirement in 1989, Yamasaki gifted a prized black pine tree to the Seattle Japanese Garden. The now century-old tree had been cared for by his father, Yamasaki and his brothers, and survived during the family's incarceration during WWII. Yamasaki carries the black pine tree and rises beyond the trials of his family’s history. The pine represents endurance, adaptability, and a bright future. The monarch butterfly represents rebirth and transformation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Virtual Exhibit: 'Northwest Nikkei' by Michelle Kumata - Juki Iida</image:title>
      <image:caption>Juki Iida, master gardener from Japan, was invited to design the Seattle Japanese Garden in 1959. He oversaw the Garden’s creation and worked with a team of local Japanese American landscape contractors. Iida painted his scroll in ink during the three months in 1960 during garden construction. The scroll is a legacy of his vision and dedication to the care and preservation of our garden and is now located in the Special Collections Room of the Elisabeth C. Miller Library.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Virtual Exhibit: 'Northwest Nikkei' by Michelle Kumata - Richard Iwao Yamasaki / Black Pine</image:title>
      <image:caption>Richard Yamasaki was one of the local Japanese American team who assisted Juki Iida in the installation of the Garden. Upon his retirement in 1989, Yamasaki gifted a prized black pine tree to the Seattle Japanese Garden. The now century-old tree had been cared for by his father, Yamasaki and his brothers, and survived during the family's incarceration during WWII. Yamasaki carries the black pine tree and rises beyond the trials of his family’s history. The pine represents endurance, adaptability, and a bright future. The monarch butterfly represents rebirth and transformation.</image:caption>

The royal couple visited the Seattle Japanese Garden, where they contributed goodwill gifts: a Japanese cherry tree and a white birch tree. At the time, this Garden was the largest Japanese tea garden outside of Japan.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Virtual Exhibit: 'Northwest Nikkei' by Michelle Kumata - Queen Nancy</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1960, Nancy Sawa Tanaka was crowned JACL Nisei Queen. One of her highlights as Nisei Queen was welcoming Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko of Japan to Seattle. Queen Nancy represented the Japanese Community during the Seafair festival, and was selected as one of two Ladies-in-Waiting to the Seafair Queen. Queen Nancy holds a bundle of bamboo stalks while a sparrow flies over blooming iris. The bamboo represents strength and flexibility. Sparrows symbolize community and the iris is purifying and represents loyalty and a noble heart.</image:caption>
