Description
Decades after the end of World War II, Yoshio Yamamoto, mayor of Toyokawa, Japan, extended a peace offering to the South Bay city of Cupertino. A beautiful sisterhood bloomed, and the seeds of the annual Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival were sown. Since 1983 the festival has honored Toyokawa with a weekend of Japanese festivities. Attendees will savor sushi and sake, and enjoy cultural presentations--including Ikebana flower arrangement, taiko drum and dance demonstrations, and showings of traditional calligraphy. Furry friends, especially Shiba Inus and Akitas, are encouraged to attend.
