This online summer celebration will feature free Japanese and Japanese American virtual events, crafts, and activities for all ages.
Virtual activities:
Paper sun hat– Making your own unique and fun paper sun hats is a JANM tradition. Download the instructions to craft a wide-brimmed hat to shade yourself from summer rays. And learn about the historic inspiration for these protective bonnets.
Ruthie’s Origami Corner– Watch our video to learn how to fold a mini, paper yukata (summer kimono), popular attire during Japanese summer festivals. The video will premiere on janm.org/natsumatsuri2021 on Aug. 14. This activity is named in honor of JANM volunteer Ruthie Kitagawa (1937–2020), who led origami activities at the museum for many years.
Colorful windsock– Join this video to make a festive decoration that waves in the wind. Inspired by the Tanabata Festival kazari (decorations) that fly above Little Tokyo during summer. The video for this activity will premiere at janm.org/natsumatsuri2021 on Aug. 14.
