Located in the Washington Park Arboretum, the Seattle Japanese Garden will mark its reopening for the 2011 season on February 13 with a Shinto blessing at Noon.
It will be followed by a calligraphy workshop from 1-3 p.m in Tateuchi Community Room.
Admission to this event is $10.
Seattle Japanese Garden covers 3 1/2 acres. It was designed and constructed under the supervision of Japanese garden designer Juki Iida in 1960.
Closest I can get to the West Coast and Japanese culture on Sunday is by starting to taste Sake from Momokawa Sake in Oregon that I received recently.
