The Jackson County Public Library will host the 2nd “Let’s Get Japaneseee” program on Tuesday, January 7th at 6pm Join us in the Community Room to learn how to make Daruma dolls which are hollow, round, Japanese traditional dolls modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting the Indian monk, Bodhidharma, vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist. Though considered a toy by some, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese. Attendees will also learn how to make and sample Okonomiyaki, Japanese savory pancakes.
