Japan Comes To Jesup Green To Celebrate Fall

The Japan Society of Fairfield County located in Ridgefield once again brought it's annual Fall Festival to Westport's Jesup Green on Saturday to celebrate Japanese culture with traditional music, dancing and crafts. Visitors enjoyed performances of Taiko drumming and even were invited to join in traditional bon odori folk dance. There was also a martial arts demonstration.

Vendors offered kimono, beautiful tengui, a traditional thin cotton hand towel used as tapestries, and information on meditation.
