Summary :

Japanese and Kentucky culture collided and UK students took part in the celebration.

The annual Sakura Festival took place at Yuko-En on the Elkhorn, the official Kentucky-Japan

Friendship Garden of Georgetown. over the weekend to showcase the best that Japan and

Kentucky have to offer during the garden’s 10th anniversary.

The festival displayed traditional Japanese along with UK students performing a song and

traditional dance and jazz music. Nobuko Patton, a UK Japanese language instructor,said

festival-goers could enjoy the variety of international culture. we want to introduce people

to world culture. It’s good to get interested and involved with culture and have a different

perspective of yourself.

For the first time at the Sakura Festival, UK students and a professor performed jazz pieces

for the audience.


Reaction:

I think it's very good opportunity for students who wants to learn diversity culture.

They can learn Japan culture also other countries and while preparing the festival , they

could think about their future. Like Nobuko said, When people meet variety people, people

have a different perspective of themself. I hope these festival could held in Crbondale.
