Naomi Kawase, 2015, 113 min, Japan, in Japanese w/ English subtitles. <br>
"Sweet Bean" is a delicious red bean paste, the sweet heart of the dorayaki pancakes that Sentaro (Masatoshi Nagase) sells from his little bakery to a small but loyal clientele. Absorbed in sad memories and distant thoughts, Sentaro cooks with skill but without
enthusiasm. When seventy-six-year-old Tokue (Kirin Kiki) responds to his ad for an assistant and cheerfully offers to work for a ridiculously low wage, Sentaro is skeptical about the eccentric old lady's ability to endure the long hours. But when she shows
up early one morning and reveals to him the secret to the perfect sweet bean paste, Sentaro agrees to take her on.

<span class="e2ma-style" style="font-size:12px">With Tokue's new home cooked sweet bean paste recipe, Sentaro's business begins to flourish, but Tokue is afflicted with an illness that, once revealed, drives her into isolation once again. Winner for Best Actress

<span class="e2ma-style" style="font-size:12px">Originally a sleepy southern town, Macon has now become a bustling center of beauty and international friendship. The Festival’s roots began with a man who possessed a deep appreciation for beauty and a passion
for horticulture. The man in question was none other than the late William A. Fickling Sr., a local realtor, who discovered the first Yoshino cherry tree in Macon while strolling about in his backyard.</span></div>

<span class="e2ma-style" style="font-size:12px">The year was 1949, and at the time of his discovery, he was unaware that the tree was a Yoshino species, rare to the South. Awed by the tree’s unique beauty, he began inquiring around town as to what species of
tree it was. But, no one knew, not even his own gardener!</span></div>

Japanese culture in the musical sphere!<br>
<br>
In this Caravan workshop, specifically geared toward music students, our consulate staff will introduce and present on music and instruments traditionally used as accompaniment in Japanese festivals. Students will have a hands-on experience learning Japanese
musical notation, tempo, and scales (as they differ from Western music) and then use this knowledge to perform, with staff guidance, a short piece of traditional festival music with the authentic Japanese flute (fuè), small taiko drums (shimè-daiko), and hand-bell
(kanè). </span></div>
