New York City, May 14th, 2022 — JAANY (Japanese Artists Association of New York) is proud to partecipate the first ever JAPAN DAY’S JAPAN PARADE in NYC celebrating their 50th anniversary collaborating with the dance company sarAika movement collective. The parade proceeded along Central Park West between 81st Street and 68th Street (heading south towards 68th Street). Every year the festival Japan Day celebrates Japanese culture, art, tradition, and food at Central Park, designed to introduce Japanese culture to New Yorkers and to connect with the local Japanese community. This Japan Parade was the first parade in New York to honor the Japanese people and their heritage. JAANY’s theme is “Artists Move Forward and Fly Towards the Future” symbolized by the dragon drawn on the opening bunner. sarAika dancers will execute a task improvisation dance inspired by the JANNY’s theme and the image of the dragon, moving on the music of emergent japanese artists.
