Dear Friends,
Happy Spring!
We are pleased to announce the release of Chapter 4 of our Artistic Director’s poignant memoir. Titled “Sakura,” this chapter gives us a glimpse into Sachiyo Sensei’s thoughts on the ephemeral cherry blossom and what it represents to her as a Japanese dancer.
She also shares stories of memorable performances from various cherry blossom festivals since 1981.
As she reflects on unforgettable moments of seeing flowers and meeting people alike, she hopes her performances and teaching have left similarly indelible impressions on others. Like the exquisite but fleeting cherry blossoms she dances under, Sachiyo Sensei’s art reminds us to fully embrace the present.
We look forward to reading more from Sachiyo Ito about how iconic aspects of Japanese culture have shaped her creative spirit and life’s work. Please stay tuned for updates on future memoir chapter releases!
