What is Matsuri?Matsuri translates as festival.
The matsuri of Japan originated
from ancient Shinto rituals that
date back to the mid-3rd century.
Matsuri are still held by some
shrines and the Imperial Court
to celebrate the cultivation
of rice and to pray for the
well-being of communities.
Modern matsuri tends
to be more focused on
the enjoyment of being
together and provides
an opportunity for
community members
to experience
the culture of Japan.
Welcome to

According to an ancient Chinese legend, a determined group of koi fish (carp) tried to reach the top of a waterfall while being taunted by localdemons that they could not reach the top. Adding to the challenge, the demons increased the height of the water fall. The koi tried again andagain, falling back into the water, but they refused to give up. After a hundred years one koi made a heroic leap and reached the top of the fall.The gods showed their approval and transformed the exhausted koi into a shining golden dragon. He joyfully spends his days chasing pearls ofwisdom across the skies of the vast, eternal heavens. Because of their endurance and perseverance, koi have symbolized overcoming adversityand fulfilling one’s destiny.

The Japanese tradition of foldingpaper cranes is centuries old, andthe crane, believed to live for 1000years, symbolized longevity andgood fortune. According to tradi-tion, if you fold 1000 cranes, yourwish will come true. Many are famil-iar with the story of Sadako Sasakiwho was exposed to radiation whenthe atomic bomb was dropped onHiroshima during WWII and herquest to fold 1000 cranes. But didyou know that the Japanese astro-naut selection process requiredcandidates to make 1000 origamicranes? Or that Japanese astro-nauts made origami cranes to honorthe thousands of victims of theearthquake and tsunami that devas-tated northern Japan and took thecranes on the spaceship as a symbolof hope and encouragement to thesurvivors?
