Do you want to meet Ninjya from Japan and learn how you can become Ninjya? ?
There were 49 schools of ninja in Japan. The most famous were Koka and Iga, in that time situated in different territories but closely related. The Koka clan consisted of 53 families with one head family and many subordinates. As for the Iga clan, there were a lot of schools like lone wolves The most famous among them was Hattori(Hattori Hanzo). Koka and Iga were situated half way between Owari, Mikawa and the capital in Kyoto which was a strategically good position.

The Asian Festival also includes a strong educational component. We recently implemented “Asian World,” where visitors travel through various booths that are named after Asian cultural interactive activities and feature traditional foods and art for each one.
Children and adults will receive a stamp on their festival passports for each cultural booth visited. Everyone is encouraged to visit all cultural booths to learn about the diversity of cultural traditions!

***History
The Asian Culture Center of TN (ACCTN) was founded in 2014 with the aim of promoting culture, diversity, and unity in the community. There is so much that a community benefits from every time there is a cultural event organized. People not only develop an open mind about other people and their cultures, but the host community also becomes a center of interest for individuals and organizations looking to boost the economic capacity of that particular community. Therefore, as a highly focused organization interested in developing cultural diversity and understanding in our Tennessee community, we have strongly focused on popularizing the Asian culture, which has grown popular in the area.
