2. Drummers (Japanese drums)

Japanese drums are traditional musical instruments but still popular in Japan now. We will invite professional drummers but you can participate and experience the drums. If you are interested, sign up now!

(time commitment: 2-3hrs/week including training in Chicago downtown. Training fees needed.)

 

3. Kimono models

As you know Kimono and Yukata (Casual Kimono) are popular worldwide but very few people actually have the experience of wearing them. This is a great opportunity for those who want to wear them and send great pictures to your friends!  

(time commitment: 2hrs at Japan Night)
