Weekend New Years Luncheon at Nagomi Tea House

A little over 60 people attended the Japan Shumy and Culture Society’s New Years luncheon on March
19 at the Nagomi Tea House. The event featured traditional Japanese dancing in kimono and karaoke
performances on stage and speeches by members including President Sayoko Bole and Rev. Taijo Imanaka
of Koyasan Buddhist Temple (pictured left). After a few announcements about future event plans, guests
enjoyed bento lunches from Uwajimaya and received surprise door prizes.
