About the Program

Celebrate the new year with us as we come together for Oshougatsu! This year, we'll be having special guest Paul Matsushima doing a reading of his children's book Thank You Very Mochi as well as a mochi making demo that families can participate in together! A short presentation on the traditions and history of Oshougatsu will precede the program activities.

​Scroll down to see mochi ingredients and supplies and register today!
