SIAC News: Upcoming Programs and Chapter 3 Release
“Roses” by Machi Ito
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce the release of Chapter 3 of Sachiyo Ito’s Memoir.
In this chapter, Sachiyo Sensei recounts formative experiences, crediting her mother, Machi Ito, for making her artistic career possible. We learn of Machi’s impressive accomplishments as an artist and trailblazing career woman in mid-20th century Japan. Sachiyo Sensei touchingly describes her mother’s quiet support through the meaningful gift of a dance fan case.
The memoir promises to give us great insight into the source of Sachiyo Sensei’s artistic drive and how she overcame many obstacles to introduce Japanese dance to the international stage. We look forward to reading future chapters and learning more about this pioneering artist’s inspirational story.

Stay tuned for details on the memoir’s fourth chapter release date!
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Sachiyo Ito & Company
