Artisan ’87 slated for Nov. 14 and 15
TORONTO. — Planning for one of the JCC Centre's most
popular events has started and indications point towards
another interesting and inspiring show for this year. Artisan
’87 will be held this year on Saturday and Sunday, Novem­
ber 14th and 15th.
This is your opportunity to start planning your Christmas
gift list as there will be hundreds of items for sale, many made
especially for this event.
To coordinate such an event takes hours of planning and
preparation to bring you as varied a selection of arts and
crafts as possible. The set-up for this event is also time con­
suming and sometimes laborous. For those of you who may
be interested with the set-up on Friday, November 13, please
contact the Centre for further details. Watch for the Novem­
ber Newsletter for more information and times. Mark Artisan
’87 on your calendar now to take advantage of this once a
year event.

rated and the curtain slowly rose at the National Arts Centre
j
in Ottawa, to commence an exciting and varied evening of
Japanese dance and drums. The Toronto Suwa Daiko, along
with a special guest appearance by their founder, Grand
I Master Drummer Daihachi Oguchi, overwhelmed the audience
with drum numbers taken from the battle fields, harvest fes­
tivals, and a few of the many other matsuri's in Japan. The
near capacity crowd was presented with classical and tradi­
tional folk songs performed by members of the Sakura-Kai
Odori group. Their dances originated from the many regions
of Japan, and were well received by the audience, most of
whom have never seen odori or taiko before. The two hour
PHONE
show concluded with a grand finale choreographed by Mrs.
465-3020
Yoshiko Kono, and performed by all the dancers and drum­
mers. A standing ovation ended the very polished and profes­
sional show, capping off countless months of rehearsal.
The Toronto Suwa Daiko and Sakura-Kai were invited to
