"Hanamizuki no kai" hopes in its own way to share the gift of music and friendship here in Central Ohio. The chorus’ name translates literally as the "Dogwood Group". The name was chosen in honor of the early 1900s exchange of yoshino cherry trees and dogwood trees between the people of Japan and the United States. The trees, still growing strong in Washington DC and Tokyo today, symbolize the friendship and sharing between Japan and America. "Hanamizuki no Kai" hopes in its own way to share the gift of music and friendship here in central Ohio.
