“Come to Yume Japanese Gardens on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 12:00 pm for a demonstration of how to create a kadomatsu, the traditional Japanese New Year’s holiday decoration made of pine and bamboo sprigs. Usually kadomatsu are placed in pairs (representing male and female) in front of the entrance ways of most homes and buildings all across Japan to serve the purpose of welcoming ancestral spirits or kami of the harvest season and inviting them to bless that location for the coming year.
Kadomatsu will be on display until January 15.”

Yume Japanese Gardens is located at 2130 N. Alvernon Way, Tucson
