Presented by Torrance Sister City Association (TSCA), Bunka Sai is a two-day Japanese Cultural Festival event that has free admission and parking, and is open to the public.
Throughout the weekend, there are authentic performances including (but not limited to): traditional dance, music, tea ceremony, calligraphy, flower arranging, martial arts, taiko, origami, story reading, kimono dressing, and more. The TSCA Gift Booth has great deals on Japanese gift items, along with over 20 Asian-themed crafts and home goods vendors!
Swing by the food booths for a tasty BBQ plate lunch, vegetable yakisoba, chicken curry and rice, dangos (donuts), and more! Proceeds from this event fund our student cultural exchange program that sends eight high school students from Torrance and a chaperone to Kashiwa in July for three weeks and hosts a delegation (of the same) from Kashiwa in August.
