The Sacramento JACL held a Japan Day event on June 23 that showcased cultural demonstrations including microwave mochi making by Jean Shiomoto, craft projects featuring sakura (cherry blossom) pins led by Lois Nishimura, ikebana (flower arranging) by Rebecca Geishaker Shaw and a musubi making contest featuring winners Esther Hokama (Hello Kitty category) and John Lane (Ninja category).
The event, which was made possible through the efforts of chapter volunteers, attracted numerous participants and was featured on two local TV shows, “Good Day Sacramento” and KCRA News.
