The Japanese Festival at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden

I have been working a lot of weekends lately but not this Saturday. Today I went to Fort Worth for the Japanese Festival at the Botanic Gardens. There were lots of things to see like bonsai



and ikibana




and a few really interesting people.


I had a real treat and got to listen to a koto concert

I have heard the koto before but never live. The music was beautiful but there was a lot of background noise. I thanked the musician after the concert and she promised to e-mail me when she is going to have another concert so that I can hear her play in a better setting. Something to look forward to.

    A new married couple?
    Is the musician Japanese or Japanese American?
    She wears kimono properly.

    The couple looked too young to be married, I think they were just doing cosplay. The musician's name is Fumiko Coburn, she is Japanese and married to an American. There were several Japanese Women there who were wearing kimono, they looked very nice.
