Hakutsuru Saké Brewing

Founded in 1743, Hakutsuru is one of the oldest saké producers in Japan and is located in the Nada district of Kobe,  a leading saké production area known throughout Japan. The name Hakutsuru means “white crane”. The Japanese crane’s reserved character and graceful appearance, and the cultural association of seeing the crane in flight as an auspicious sign, made the crane an ideal symbol to represent the excellent quality of Hakutsuru’s saké.

Music of Remembrance

Music of Remembrance (MOR) is a Seattle-based non-profit organization established in 1998 to remember the Holocaust through music. We are not a religious organization, and believe that our mission calls on us to act on the Holocaust’s lessons by also focusing on the experience of others who have been excluded or persecuted for their ethnicity, nationality, faith, gender or sexuality. The focus of MOR’s 2017-18 season will be the premieres of works that we have commissioned from three composers about Japanese and Japanese-American wartime experience.
