2008 through winter of 2009, KIMONO-The 20<sup>th</sup> Century Masterworks of Itchiku
Kubota, presenting an exhibit of Kubota’s landscape kimono. Due to the
magnitude of this blockbuster exhibit, ArtsinStark, the County Arts Council,
will coordinate a 12-week celebration of the culture of <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Japan</st1:place></st1:country-region> and assist
with public relations. Therefore, we are looking for Japanese performers, such
as Taiiko, Koto, Nichibu, Shakuhachi, Shamisen, Nou, Bonsai, Ikebana, Japanese
Tea Ceremony, and so forth. The performer doesn’t necessarily have to be
Japanese, just aware of the Japanese rituals and traditions. If you could let
us know of any artists, performers or entertainers that would support our
activities, we would greatly appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
