Field
Work at Japan Fair in VanDusen Botanical Garden
Mar. 28-29, '09
Vancouver
Cherry Blossom Festival has been held for a month March 28-April 24 in Vancouver Canada. The Japan
Fair which is part of the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival was held at
VanDusen Botanical Garden for two days March 28-29. Nowadays, diffusion
of Japanese Culture in Canada has expanded
quite dramatically. For instance, the Japan Fair was also a part of
the“80th
Anniversary of Japan-Canada Relations”. The Canadian College of Shiatsu Therapy held “The 15th
International Shiatsu Conference
Vancouver” for celebrating this anniversary.

Japan Fair |
At the Japan Fair, the Canadian
College of Shiatsu Therapy set up a Shiatsu
booth, and our students demonstrated 10-20min. table Shiatsu treatment.
It was crowded
with people from all cultures as well as the Japanese who have an
interest in Japanese
Culture. At our Shiatsu booth, a lot of people received
“Shiatsu treatment” a
Japanese traditional hands-on therapy. It was a nice way for people to
relax
after enjoying the day of events and to heal their tired bodies. It was
a huge
success two-day event. Through events such as this, we hope that many
people become
more aware of Shiatsu treatment in Canada.
