’This is a unique experience created by Water’s Edge together with Ginza the Japanese Restaurant as annual event for the community to be enriched by the knowledge and experience of another culture as an example the Bonsai workshops and Aikido demonstrations are uncommon experiences in Sri Lanka and we hope this kind of exposure would lead to  the birth novel trends for everyone to experience and enjoy’ said Rohan Fernandopulle, giving more meaning to the wonderful experiences in store. Anticipate a variety of activities including, Archery, Origami, Ikebana demonstrations, Sushi making, Aikido demonstrations all evening including  live music by a Japanese chorus group and ‘Taiko’ group between 6.45 – 7.30pm.
