Japan House will be featuring Japanese artist Seiran Chiba for a large-scale calligraphy execution of the character for peace. Following that is a live raking of the dry rock garden to showcase the character as a raked pattern. Afterward, there will be an origami crane foldraiser to support the Seattle Peace Garden. This free event will occur outside in the gardens. Please prepare accordingly. Pre-order for Matcha Cafe online
