 The Genki Spark and Brookline High School once again host the Brookline Cherry Blossom Festival with music, bon odori dance, crafts, food, and, of course, taiko drumming with groups from all over the greater Boston area. Come join us in celebrating the gift of the cherry blossoms in this fun, family-friendly event. The festival runs from noon until 4pm. Odaiko New England will be featured at 12:30pm. |
Odaiko New England performs at the Newport Black Ships Festival at the historic Cardine’s Field, one of our biggest performances of the year. We’re very pleased to return to Newport’s weekend-long festival celebrating the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to United States trade. The “Black Ships,” or “Kurofune,” refers to the Japanese term for foreign ships.
We’ll be joined this year by the taiko group Shindaiko.
Shimoda is now Newport’s sister city and also celebrates this festival.
The Black Ships festival is hosted by the Japan-America Society of Rhode Island.
