Film - Paper Lanterns

Paper Lanterns is a documentary film about Shigeaki Mori, an atomic bomb survivor who spent over 40 years investigating the 12 American prisoners who died in the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, Japan. 

The Japan Society of Boston supported making this film under the direction of Barry Frechette and producer Peter Grilli (President Emeritus, Japan Society of Boston).

CALL Theater U.S. Debut

We supported the Japanese theater group CALL in coming to Boston to make its American performance debut.

The group consists of working Japanese mothers. The group conducted performances around Boston of its original play "Three Lucky Charms," an adaptation of a Japanese folktale written by Julia Yermakov.

Performance - Puppetry

We featured traditional Japanese puppetry by the Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo Puppet Theater.

The group, led by fifth grand master Koryu Nishikawa V, presented female-centered stories from classical Japanese literature. The show was accompanied by vocal master Koshiko Takemoto. Audiences had the rare opportunity to see a full-scale puppetry performance.
