 \n415-921-5007 \n\n* * * * * \n\nThe fantastic Tsukimi Kai Dos trip to Cub
 a brought a group of U.S. Nisei\, Sansei\, Yonsei (second\, third and four
 th generation Japanese and Okinawans) and friends to Cuban Nikkei communit
 ies in Havana\, on La Isla de la Juventud and the fishing village of Surgi
 dero de Batabano.  We arrived in Cuba on Christmas Eve\, 2006 and stayed f
 or three weeks.  Together with our Nikkei Cuban friends\, we welcomed 2007
  by celebrating Oshogatsu (Japanese New Year) with food\, Japanese and Oki
 nawan dance\, taido drumming\, origami and daruma making and the Okinawan 
 Lion (Shiisaa) dance. \n\nTsukimi Kai is an intergenerational group of pre
 dominately Nikkei artists\, performers\, educators\, and scholars that sha
 re a goal:  to explore and celebrate the parallel histories of Japanese Cu
 bans and Japanese Americans. We wish to reach across boundaries of history
  and politics to exchange\, through art and dialogue\, stories of our migr
 ations from Japan and our adaptations to a new land.  Central to this exch
 ange is the performance of music\, dance and ceremonies that link both com
 munities with our common heritage.  The first Tsukimi Kai trip brought 19 
 U.S. Nikkei and friends to Cuba to celebrate Obon in 2005. \n\nThe word "t
 sukimi" suggests the circumstance of people divided by distance yet apprec
 iating the beauty of the same bright moon.  Through our exchange\, Japanes
 e Americans and Japanese Cubans will forge better understanding of our div
 ergent paths and shared culture.   Hope you can join us! \n\n<strong>* * *
