My second interview from the 2013 Calgary Japanese Festival features my chat with Kay Toyota-san of the Kotobuki Seniors group. She explains the dances and shares her experiences of connecting with her Japanese heritage through Odori.
We couldn't have asked for a better day for the third-annual Calgary Japanese Festival. I had a blast documenting the Omatsuri and interviewing the performers. Check out the first article in my 2013 Omatsuri series.
