Each year the students prepare short cultural presentations where they demonstrate some aspect of Japanese culture in English to Americans. The students are divided into groups according to their interests and abilities. These short presentations are very informal, and done kind of one on one with the observers. Here are some typical culture groups from past years:

• Origami. Students bring origami paper and teach children (and adults) how to do simple origami. Typically the KGU origami students are sitting at a table and the Americans who are interested in learning origami come up to the table and learn from the KGU students how to make a crane or a frog or whatever.
• Chopsticks. Students bring some chopsticks and teach Americans how to properly hold and use chopsticks. They can then help the Americans try to use them to pick up objects on a paper plate (candy, small balls, whatever) and move it to another paper plate.
• Yukata. Students bring their yukata, and maybe 4-5 small child size yukatas. Before the culture presentation begins, the KGU students put on their yukatas, and then they set the extra adult and child size yukatas out on the table for the Americans to try on, and take pictures, etc.
• Martial Arts. Students demonstrate martial arts.
• All students do a traditional dance, such as Soran-bushi or Yosakoi.
• High School Uniform. Students bring their high school uniforms and explain the meaning and purpose of these uniforms in Japanese high schools and junior high schools.
• Fashion Show. Students demonstrate various types of fashion that are currently popular in various parts of Japan.
• Kendo demonstration.
• Ikebana.
• Japanese children’s games.
• Japanese snacks and tea.
• Tea Ceremony basics.
• Calligraphy. Students bring paper, brushes, ink to demonstrate some simple kanji, help Americans do a simple kanji or write their name, etc.
• Manga. Students bring manga books and show some of the most popular manga characters/series.
