On Saturday, November 12th, we held 秋祭 Aki-matsuri & 注連飾りワークショップ Shimekazari Workshop (in person)!
At 秋祭 Aki-Matsuri / Thanksgiving, we communicated our gratitude for a bountiful harvest, improving ourselves, new friendships and successes, as well as blessing of good fortune, and happiness to Kami-sama (the Nature Spirits).
We held this ceremony in person at Echo Hall Gardena (15016 Nader Pl., Gardena, CA 90249). Whenever we do ceremonies at a special location, we try to set up the camera to show the ceremony, so this video is special! You feel you were there! Please contribute your osaisen for covering rental fees for the space.

Right after the Aki-matsuri, we will hold a Shimekazari Workshop.
Come join us to make your own Shimekazari to welcome 2023’s Kami-sama! It’s fun to make with your kids and/or partner!
