Otsukimi is a moon viewing event held annually for more than fifteen years by our organization serving arts and culture enthusiasts as well as community members interested in authentic and traditional Japanese culture. The most recent iteration saw authenticity, education, omotenashi hospitality, and tradition brought to life in several ways. We offered Japanese food freshly made, had artists performing music, kimono displays, and other vendors that highlighted Japanese arts and culture. During this two day event we sold 2,073 tickets. Haru celebrates the onset of spring at the Japanese Friendship Garden and for this event we aim to serve families and children. This two day event provides opportunities for children to play games, view Japanese displays, and experience music and food representative of the culture and season of Japan. This annual event resulted in 1,429 tickets sold, not including the large number of children under the age of 6 who entered the Garden for free. 221804 1358072 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 27 0 false 45 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true true true true true false false false X Ben Schrepf 6022748700 216 W Portland St Phoenix AZ 85003 Celina Coleman Prior Executive Director 40 X 65682 0 0 Ben Schrepf Executive Director 40 X 78526 0 0 Corey Strawhun Interim Co-ED 40 X 43607 0 0 Kiyoko Goldhardt Board President 3 X X 0 0 0 Sam Lowry Board Vice President 3 X X 0 0 0 Joanne Itow Board Secretary 3 X X 0 0 0 Christine Lindley Board Treasurer 3 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Allendar Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Melissa Sanderson Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Rick Tabbilos Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Eric Farrer Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 John Holmes Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Kathy Nakagawa Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Avein Saaty-Tafoya Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 Sandra Inouye Board Member 3 X 0 0 0 187815 0 0 false false false 53500 71366 8710 124866 Admission Fees 900099 1111354 1111354 Membership Dues 900099 57655 57655 Private Event Rentals 900099 130100 130100 Special Events 900099 290776 290776 1589885 23210 23210 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 431641 155540 276101 276101 Misc 900099 4607 4607 4607 2018669 1589885 0 303918 117780 40045 58890 18845 719168 690603 27470 1095 82411 72561 7998 1852 56540 55884 519 137 43243 43243 92826 86838 5988 14461 13269 1192 47999 30949 16709 341 34848 15664 17209 1975 64832 53480 11352 48108 32666 15442 10691 10691 32065 28803 3092 170 Bank, Merchant & Payroll Fees 79974 63908 14831 1235 Plants, Supplies, Materials 87395 81915 5427 53 Equipment & Storage 70967 63452 7515 In-Kind & Misc 21706 17344 4351 11 0 0 0 0 1625014 1358072 241228 25714 607586 450335 775265 1269459 7751 15954 35258 1915 1606 404654 123841 205036 280813 1613507 2037471 74445 101975 10600 13379 85045 115354 X 1516832 1914787 1528462 1922117 1613507 2037471 393655 X X true false true false false X 173788 264124 150297 114937 124866 828012 485640 1078974 1546781 1795907 1589885 6497187 659428 1343098 1697078 1910844 1714751 7325199 7325199 385 103 298 4345 23210 28341 385 103 298 4345 23210 28341 1202 1202 1484 207 10157 4607 16455 662499 1343408 1697376 1925346 1742568 7371197 0.99000 0.99680 0.00380 0.00380 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false 0 false 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 300152 110207 189945 0 49756 13634 36122 54746 54746 280813 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule D part X Fin 48, ASC 740 footnote related to 990 part IV line 11f The Organization recognizes uncertain tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will not be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
