Kansas City Japanese Choir Himawari

Himawari is a local choral group in which members enjoy experiencing Japanese culture and tradition through singing Japanese songs.

Their songs remind listeners of nostalgic images of the beautiful scenery of the four seasons in Japan. For the Japan Festival, the group will also be performing some American songs which have been translated into Japanese.

The performers will be singing in casual kimonos, so that the audience can enjoy that aspect of Japanese culture as well.
