“Songs from the Canefields: Verses that tell a story,” a 2015 program, has been updated & revised to include a singer in period costume from Soto Zen Ondo Dancers and a musician on the fue (traditional Japanese flute) from Taiko Kauaʻi. Historic video clips, photos and voice recordings will be shared.

The program is provided by Kauaʻi Soto Zen Temple and will honor the legacy of Mrs. Shizuko Kato who worked in the canefields of McBryde Sugar Company for 47 years.

REFRESHMENTS will be served courtesy of the Friends of the Hanapēpē Public Library.
