Japan Society's annual all-day culture festival j-CATION traditionally promises "a trip to Japan without ever leaving New York City". But the 2012 installment themed around sakura-or cherry blossoms, a spring season delight in Japan- promises more: one person will walk away with an actual trip to Japan.
As the concluding event in the Sakura - Spring Renews, Beauty Blooms programming series commemorating the 100th anniversary of Japan's gift of cherry trees to Washington, DC and New York City's Upper West Side, this year's j-CATION: Sakura transports visitors to a cherry blossom-filled haven of workshops, crafts and mini language lessons; a classic film screening; a Japanese-style game show with a grand prize of a round trip ticket to Japan; live music concerts; DJ party; stunning design art from the exhibition Deco Japan; and a hana-mi (cherry blossom viewing) lounge with seasonally appropriate drinks and snacks for purchase.
