RESOBOX participated in the first anniversary celebration of Momosan at Foxwoods Resort, bringing Japanese cultural demonstrations to a major hospitality event in Connecticut.

Japanese Cultural Artists at a Hospitality Celebration

Held on June 5 at Foxwoods Resort, the event celebrated the first anniversary of Momosan, the restaurant by Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Guests enjoyed the restaurant's food, drinks, and festive atmosphere while RESOBOX presented hands-on Japanese cultural elements throughout the event space.

The RESOBOX team included Taizan Tanaka for sumi-e, Satoi Adams for mizuhiki, and Shiho Mashiko for origami. Their live demonstrations added a cultural layer to the celebration and gave guests a direct way to engage with Japanese art forms.

Expanding Where Japanese Culture Can Appear

For RESOBOX, the event was another example of how Japanese cultural programming can move beyond the classroom and become part of hospitality, entertainment, and brand experiences. Each setting requires a different format, but the goal remains the same: to make Japanese culture accessible, memorable, and alive in the moment.

RESOBOX will continue developing opportunities for instructors and artists to bring their work into corporate events, hospitality spaces, and public programs across New York and beyond.
