- Now in its seventh year, this celebration of Japanese culture will feature several new elements, including a kimono fashion show, a performance by Nashville Ballet’s Lily Saito, and mochi pounding, in addition to the traditional tea ceremony. Bilingual tours of the Blevins Japanese Garden will be available until sunset, when the garden will be lit with lanterns for serene meditation. New this year is mochi pounding! Kids of all ages can try whacking the rice flour dough with the tools that Japanese cooks have used for years. Pre-made mochi will also be on hand to taste.
