Imagine the sun-drenched courtyard of Sakura Square echoing with laughter as colorful, water-filled balloons bob gracefully in a splashing pool of water.

This year, we are bringing the pure magic of a traditional Japanese summer festival directly to Denver with the beloved game of yoyo tsuri!

Armed with a delicate paper string hook, your focus narrows as you attempt to snare your favorite vibrant, swirling pattern before the string dissolves.

It is a thrilling, nostalgic challenge that promises to be the ultimate highlight of your weekend festivities. Bring your friends, test your dexterity, and take home a beautiful, bouncy piece of Japanese culture!

🗓 Date: June 27 and June 28, 2026
⏰ Time: Saturday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM | Sunday 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

JASC connects Colorado and Japan through temarizushi! 🍣

Our JASC Office was absolutely buzzing with vibrant energy and color as participants stepped into the delightful world of these traditional, embroidered ball-inspired delicacies.

Guided by the spirit of creativity, everyone masterfully learned the intricate "twist and press" technique to sculpt their own bite-sized photogenic masterpieces without needing a single rolling mat. ✨

The room was filled with laughter, shared stories, and the undeniable joy of cultural discovery as beautiful toppings transformed into edible works of art.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought so much passion to this stunning session! Save the date for our next session: Chirashi Chapter on Tuesday, July 21st, starting at 6:30 pm!

🚶‍♀️How do you take the first steps toward an international business career?

⛩What kind of jobs might require Japanese language skills?

💱Will a major in international finance translate to a job in Colorado?

🌐What if I want to work for a foreign company?

University of Colorado Boulder students posed these and other questions to a group of seven mentors visiting their campus on the evening of Wednesday, April 1st, for a "speed-mentoring" event organized by the Japan America Society of Colorado.

✨The event was made possible by a grant from the Japan Foundation, New York. JASC plans to hold a second mentoring event in the fall at Colorado State University.
