SIAC News: Free Trial Class and Chapter 9 of Sachiyo Ito's Memoir Released
Dear Friends,
We are excited to share with you Chapter 9 of Sachiyo Ito's captivating memoir, titled "Rockies Kabuki to Montevideo."
For many of us, September is when we embrace a time of transition – a time of new opportunities, new studies, and new friendships. Ito shares her treasured experiences and encounters that have touched her heart and strengthened her mission.
Chapter 9 recounts Ito’s tours around the USA, and other parts of the globe as an emissary of Japanese arts and culture. Enjoy her journey of over 50 years spreading the arts and culture of Japan, and learn about this pioneering artist's inspirational story.
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.
