Apologies for not updating for so long - things have been quite busy and I have not been available to post information at all.
I will be posting reports and updates from the past month and a half (hopefully soon!) and a more proper calendar for the rest of the year's events (hopefully soon as well...) in the meantime, check out the events for this weekend:
The Charanke Festival is a major event bringing together the Ainu and Okinawan communities in Tokyo, and this will be the festival's 18th year running. It all started from a connection between an Ainu and Okinawan feeling a sense of kinship, and developed into the event it is today. In the past the festival has been held in the park right by the JR Nakano Station, but this year it will be held at the Araiyakushi Baishoin Temple for the first time. Come check it out if you have the chance!
