On Sunday, April 15th from 2- 5pm join your Sakura friends for an afternoon at The Parkside Lodge raising funds for the 2018 Buffalo Cherry Blossom Festival.

Josh studied with Koryu Nishikawa V, (Fifth-generation traditional Japanese master puppeteer of Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo Theater, and designated National Intangible Folk Treasure of Japan,) Josh will give a presentation on traditional cart puppetry on Family Day, May 6, at the Cherry Blossom Festival.
