Japan Festival Ishikawa - Culture in Honolulu
Cultural charity event featuring traditional Japanese music, folk arts, and the first ever performance of Kanazawa Geishas in Honolulu.
Through this unique opportunity you will have the occasion to appreciate the authentic beauty of Japanese culture which crowns the commemoration of Hawaii-Japanese relation in light of more than 100-year history.
In particular, Ishikawa Prefecture is located in the northern coast of Honshu and it is famous for being the cradle of traditional and contemporary Japanese art, design, culture and craft. Moreover, Kanazawa, its capital, is one of the best-preserved Edo-period (1603-1867) cities in Japan.
Live performances as well as Japanese tea ceremony, traditional flower arrangement, and Japanese calligraphy in the exhibition room.
Modern fashion show featuring the fusion between the traditional and the modern Japanese culture! In fact, you can admire the outstanding traditional fabrics from Ishikawa, such as Kimono and lacquer, in modern fashion.
A charity event with all ticket proceeds donated to the historic Hawaii Theater.
A donation box will be present to support the disaster-affected areas of Maui.
The Garden Club of Honolulu presents Pacific Horizons 2023 - Oceans: Beyond the Reef
Flower Show Chairs Phyllis Lee and Janice Fergus are joined by 100 club members and approximately 90 judges will fly in from across the country to make their selections in the categories of floral design, horticulture, photography, botanical arts, and needle arts.
HoMA Trustee Kitty Wo has been a member of TGCH since 2009, and is the current president. She found herself an empty nester and thought it was time to “learn something new.” Today she is a skilled floral designer and an approved judge in floral design and botanical arts, a position that took nearly 10 years to attain.
“Floral design has opened a whole new world to me,” says Wo, who is overseeing staging for the show and is chair of the Botanical Arts Division. “It is something you have to study, practice, and really work at. It is such a creative process, and I enjoy the challenge, stimulation, and beauty of working with flowers and dried materials, transforming them into works of art.”
