NEW VIDEOS from Cherry Blossom Festival

The 2024 Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japanese Friendship Garden closed out with a bang Sunday, March 10, with performances by both our Bon Odori dancers and the BTSD Taiko Troupe. Scroll down the page to see the two most recent videos posted!

Thanks to photographer Efton Woodford for taking the photograph, and Dance Instructor Shirley Omori for emailing it to the Temple. Here you see both groups show their strength in representing the Temple.
