Japanese for Dummies


Ever since I read "Memoirs of a Geisha" a few years back, my eyes have been opened and inspired by Japanese culture. Now, thanks to the newest addition to the Boston family, Red Sox star pitcher Dice K has brought Japanese culture back into focus.

The first of two Japanese-inspired exhibits going on around Boston right now is located at the Keiko Gallery on Charles St. The exhibit features miniature sculptures from Japanese artist Tanaka Kazuhiko, and is completely free of charge. The second is called "Beyond Basketry: Japanese Bamboo Art" going on right now at the MFA. These and many other events of Japaenese origin were featured in a story yesterday in the Boston Globe calld "Japanese 101." Read on for more details about these events and many more.
