Two years ago the former Consul General of Japan Hiroshi Furusawa attended a meeting
at which tempers flared among members of some local ethnic communities. He was
concerned about what he witnessed and began to consider ways in which he could make
positive changes. He contacted representatives of the local Chinese and Korean
communities to gauge their interest in working together on a non-political cultural event
that would bring our communities together. Jin Lan, representing the Chinese
community, and Greg Caldwell, representing the Korean community, eagerly agreed to
cooperate. The resulting performance is called the Dance of Three Nations.
