The 2018 Nisei Week choreographer is Madame Fujima Kansuma, who turned 100 years old in May. She has taught countless women how to dance; 46 of them have received their natori,?meaning they have been granted their professional name.
Her work to educate and build bridges between two cultures and two nations has been recognized by both the Japanese and American governments. In 1985, the government of Japan awarded her the Order of the Precious Crown, Apricot in recognition for her work in enhancing the appreciation of Japanese culture in the U.S. The National Endowment for the Arts also deemed her a National Heritage Fellow for the Arts in 1987, honoring her as a master traditional artist and recognizing her lifetime achievements and contributions to the nation’s traditional arts heritage. In 2004, she was given the Japanese American National Museum’s Cultural Ambassador Award for her devotion and commitment to the art of Japanese classical dance.
Madame Kansuma continues to teach and choreograph. Her passion and devotion to her art has no bounds and it is her dream that her legacy be kept alive and continued for generations to come.
The 2018 Nisei Week Japanese Festival is a nine-day event first held in 1934, and is recognized today as one of the nation’s longest-running ethnic festivals.
