Japan Festival teaches students about culture
CAMPUS

On Saturday, the Japan Festival was hosted by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) and the Spencer Museum of Art, where the event took place. The festival included crafts, lectures and artifact exhibits. With a full day to learn about new cultures, students and families enjoyed listening to talks about the Japanese tea ceremony. Participants also toured the museum to see tea ceremony artifacts and interactively participated in a Japanese drumming performance by Three Tails Taiko.
Since many students can't visit other countries, including Japan, these cultural events are a great alternative for students to get a glimpse of a new culture, and to realize that they are surrounded by different cultures.
"I always try to come to cultural events or history of arts events. I don't necessarily have opportunities to travel much, but I feel like living in Lawrence and being at KU," said Rachel Hagan, a junior from Topeka. She said that college is a great time to attend these events, because they are free for students.
Mindy Landeck, a Ph.D candidate in East Asian History, lectured about her expertise in the Japanese tea ceremony, which was accompanied by a video.
"Most people will never get the chance to go to Japan, necessarily, or participate in a tea ceremony, but you can eat ethnic food. And for many people this is their first and sometimes their only introduction to a different culture," Landeck said.
She thinks students can show their creativity in their food by incorporating local ingredients. Mizumura suggested using matcha powder, green tea, to add a Japanese take to meals you already make.
Ayako Mizumura, assistant director at CEAS and a Japanese culinary expert, shared how students at the University can apply this lecture to their everyday lives.
"You can be very flexible. Let's say, you can put some matcha powder in your pancake dough and make a matcha pancake. Or a sugar cookie, or add matcha powder to vanilla ice cream," Mizumura said.
"We envision this Japan fest as a way to just introduce KU students, and also the members of Lawrence community, to Japan."
Kate Cowger, a sophomore from Topeka, attended the festival to learn more about the tea ceremony. Although Cowger hasn't heard a lot about Japanese culture, she had heard about the tea ceremonies.
While some students are familiar with Japanese customs, events such as the Japan Festival are a great opportunity to expand their knowledge.
"I never understood what a big deal it is," Cowger said.

The couple inspired Medoff to create "Children of a Lesser God,"
Frelich became interested in acting while at Gallaudet. She joined the National Theatre of the Deaf where she met Steinberg, who worked as a scenic and lighting designer on several plays by Mark Mendoff.
Tony Award-winning deaf actress Phyllis Frelich dies at 70
Phyllis Frelich, a Tony Award-winning deaf actress who starred in the Broadway version of "Children of a Lesser God," has died. She was 70.
A native of Devils Lake, N.D., Frelish graduated from the North Dakota School for the Deaf and Gallaudet College — now Gallaudet University — in Washington, D.C. She was the oldest of nine deaf children born to deaf parents.
"She was extraordinary, the finest sign language actress there ever was," he said. "We were married for 46 years. I would have been happy with 46 more."
CELEBRITY
"Just two weekends ago, the Japanese Student Association put on an all-day event at the Kansas Union, also themed around Japanese culture," Landeck said. "There is a vibrant community for that in the larger Kansas City area, as well. Every October, Japan-America Society in the heartland of Kansas City offers a huge Japan festival at JCCC that is attended every year by more than 5,000 people from the area. So we are just kind of one more part of that bigger picture of doing East Asian themed outreach, I think."
Frelich, died Thursday at their home in Temple City, Calif., her husband, Robert Steinberg, said. She suffered from a rare degenerative neurological disease called progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, for which there are no treatments, he said.
"We envision this Japan fest as a way to just introduce KU students, and also the members of Lawrence community, to Japan," Landeck said. "It was a wonderful opportunity to bring together art historians, social historians, culinary experts and put together something that would be fun for young people, in terms of activities, but also adults who have an interest in Asian cultures and would like to come to some program and learn more."
Other organizations at the University and surrounding areas provide many cultural events where students can experience new cultures from around the world, too.
On April 17, CEAS is hosting an event about food and prostitution in Yoshiwara, a district in Edo, present-day Tokyo, during the time of artist Hishikawa Moronobus. The event is planned for 4 p.m. in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union.
"The play opened and I really thought, 'I'm working with as good as an actor as I've ever worked with in my life. And I've got to take advantage of it.'" Medoff told the AP on Saturday.
which follows the relationship between a deaf woman and a teacher at a school for the deaf. The production was first staged in New Mexico and then in Los Angeles. Freich won a Tony in 1980 for her Broadway portrayal of Sarah Norman, the deaf woman at the heart of the play.
Medoff, now a professor at New Mexico State University, said he was immediately charmed by her energy and her enthusiasm for having a conversation with him.
"I was the first deaf person he had known," Frelich told The Associated Press in 1988. "I told him there were no roles for deaf actresses. He said, 'OK, I'll write a play for you.' He did. He went home and wrote 'Children of a Lesser God.' He wanted to write a good play. He was interested in me as an actress and he wasn't trying to write a message play."
