Beautiful ikebana, bonsai and Girls’ Day dolls will be on display. Kamishibai (Japanese storytelling) will be presented in English and Japanese both days. There will also be games and crafts for kids.

Proceeds from the event benefit TSCA’s student cultural exchange program, which sends up to eight students and an adult leader from Torrance to Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, for three weeks in July. TSCA will host Kashiwa students and an adult leader during August.
TSCA is a non-profit, community-based, volunteer organization dedicated to promoting goodwill between the people of Torrance and Kashiwa.
