Virtual Tomodachi Gala

Community Event
In Person
Japanese Cultural & Community Center of Washington
1414 South Weller Street Seattle, Washington, United States of America

Date: June 17, 2021

Time: 7 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.



Join us for our second Virtual Tomodachi Gala! This year's theme is Resilience. Just like the sakura tree that bursts into bloom after each winter, we celebrate the J’s perseverance in the face of this worldwide pandemic. During this year’s event, we honor Tazue and Yutaka Sasaki and find out more about the ‘J’ over the last year - from cataloging museum items, hosting other virtual events, and reopening the beloved Hosekibako to the public!
Tazue and Yutaka Sasaki have led the Seattle Cherry Blossom for over 42 years as well as the Musical Bridge Concerts, and long term support of the Seattle Japanese Language School. Join us in honoring the Sasakis for their work to strengthen and celebrate the U.S.-Japan relationship.
How to Participate: Please go to our youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/JCCCWA/), and you will see the live program on June 17th at 7PM (PDT)! Free to join! Donate today!
