     New Year's Luncheon

20 January 2013

Doctors George and Willa Tanabe explained about Japanese New Year's traditions and foods.  Their comments were laced with entertaining historical examples and personal stories on how traditions adapt to the circumstances of the times.  Arrangements exhibited used Japanese and Chinese lunch boxes in creative ways and six people won centerpieces arranged in homemade pottery by Jean Marutani.
