Japanese interpreter, Yosuke Inoue, will be on hand for each demonstration to assist in the clarity of the presentation. There are also a series of hands-on workshops being offered during the seminar. It is a rare opportunity to be able to learn about this very traditional art form from such a highly regarded group of experts. |
