On Dec 31, we invite members of Lighthouse for the Blind for a haptic experience by emailing: communityengagement@asianart.org. Details follow. Cultural Celebration 38th Annual Japanese New Year Bell-Ringing Ceremony Come celebrate with your museum community for an experience the San Francisco Chronicle calls “a great way to end a year and start a new year.” Ring in the New Year by taking a swing at a 2,100-pound, 16th-century Japanese temple bell. Led by Reverend Gengo Akiba, this inspiring ceremony will include a purification ritual and chanting of the Buddhist Heart Sutra. Visitors will have an opportunity to ring the bell to leave behind any unfortunate experiences, regrettable deeds, or ill luck from the year. The bell will be struck 108 times to usher in the New Year and curb the 108 mortal desires (bonno) that, according to Buddhist belief, torment humankind. Schedule 10:00 am: Doors open Lighthouse community members get into the Asian Art Museum free of charge. But make sure you register early to ensure your place at the event. Museum Members can attend an earlier Bell-Ringing Ceremony at 10:30 AM before the public ceremony begins. Learn more about member benefits.

ASL interpretation is available upon request; please email communityengagement@asianart.org two weeks prior to the event to request an ASL interpreter.
