Join JASH at Evelyn’s Park on the second Saturday of every month to experience the art of origami!
Each session will have a theme highlighting a specific Japanese holiday or celebration. Participants of all ages can enjoy mastering this artform through three designs of various difficulty. From beginners to advanced practitioners, there is an origami pattern for everyone.
September Theme: Otsukimi (Moon Viewing)
Otsukimi or moon viewing, is a traditional Japanese Festival celebrating the beauty of harvest moon. During this seasonal event, families decorate with pampas grass called Susuki and enjoy special rice dumplings known as Tsukimi Dango. Japanese folklore also imagines the shadow on the moon as a rabbit pounding mochi! Join us for a fun and creative origami workshop and make festive decorations to bring a touch of autumn moonlight into your home.
