Japan-America Society of the State of Washington presents a closer look into the creation and beauty behind its art on one of Japan's most celebrated days Kodomo No Hi, or as known as Children's Day.

Washoku is a social practice based on a set of skills, knowledge, practice and traditions related to the production, processing, preparation and consumption of food. It is associated with an essential spirit of respect for nature that is closely related to the sustainable use of natural resources. The basic knowledge and the social and cultural characteristics associated with Washoku are typically seen during Japanese traditional holidays.
