Support for the National Cherry Blossom Festival

The National Cherry Blossom Festival, held every spring, is the largest Japanese cultural festival in the U.S., commemorating Tokyo’s donation of cherry blossom trees to the U.S. in 1912 as a symbol of friendship. Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the first president of Sankyo, was one of the people who dedicated his efforts to the donation of the cherry blossom trees, and our Group has supported the National Cherry Blossom Festival for many years.

Ballet for the Blind:~Transforming Lives Through Dance~

At DSBR, we believe in the transformative power of art and inclusion. That’s why we support the Ballet for Blind Project, which was founded by physiotherapist Fernanda Bianchini in 1995.
Ballet for Blind is the only one in the world to teach classical ballet to visually impaired individuals, using an innovative methodology based on touch and body perception to teach the steps and movements of classical dance.
