Throughout the month of February, the Office of Multicultural Affairs is hosting a number of events in honor of Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month. You can check out the complete schedule here, but here are some of the more "Japan-relevant" events:
• Asian New Year Festival •
Thursday, Feb. 3rd, 6-9pm, Grand River Room (Kirkhof)
Unlike last year, I don't think any Japanese groups are going to be contributing to the festivities, but there's still fun, food, and fashion for all.
• Utake •
Wednesday, Feb. 9th, 5-7pm, Cook DeWitt Center
Utake is a trio or musicians (piano, percussion, and shakuhachi (Japanese flute)) who are well known for their unique fusion of Asian/Western folk/jazz. Their performance will be accompanied by a presentation on Japanese art and philosophy and recitation of Japanese poetry. It should be fun.
