Society Chair Derrick Redding and Yoshiko Redding attended the Tea Ceremony with Deputy Consul General Kentaro Yamane, Novi Mayor Justin Fischer, and Ko Moriya, Vice President of the JBSD. The tea ceremony was presented by Tea Master Tomoyo Koehler of the Omotesenke School as the guest and narrated by Anita Savio.

Festival goers enjoyed many other traditional Japanese arts including calligraphy, ikebana and taiko. They could also learn origami, try traditional Japanese festival games, taste tea from Shiga Prefecture, and try Japanese festival food.
