Festivals Issue Holidays and festivals abound in the East as they do in the West. Some holidays are observed in both hemispheres but at different times. New Year is celebrated based on the lunar calendar in China and for several days around January 1st in Japan. Another example is Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated on August 22 in China. While some celebrations are similar to Western culture, many are quite distinct. Our design team has created a variety of projects to commemorate Asian holidays and festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival, Doll Festival, Lantern Festival and Tree Planting Day, among others. You may be interested in looking at this calendar we've drawn up, which gives you the dates of the principal holidays in some of the major Asian countries, and a little explanation about each.The Projects section has samples and how to do the techniques illustrated in the samples. The Gleanings section includes a couple of tidbits from our archives. The Web Links page has links to other sites on the web that have samples or information on ikebana and buddha. The Gallery contains the larger project versions. The Bibliography points you towards how-to books. We hope you enjoy this seventh zine! Brenda Marks, Editor Contributors: |
