Performing next at the 22nd annual International Folk Festival was the Sho-Jo-Ji Japanese Dancers.

Sponsored by the Cleveland Japanese American Citizens League, the Sho-jo-ji Japanese Dancers have preserved, taught, and performed Japanese classical and folk dances in Ohio for over fifty years. The dancers wear the traditional costume of Japan, a vibrant kimono, dress, which is tied with a brocaded obi, belt.
