On September 19th, Zenrinkan hosted its annual International Festival, Lunch, and Bazaar in the hallowed halls of the chapel. Events started at 10 o'clock with the doors opening so guests could peruse the many items in the charity bazaar. There was quite a menagerie waiting to be recycled into new homes and bargain hunting browsers eagerly bought up the goods.
At 11 o'clock the International Lunch began to satisfy the appetites of the curious and the convivial. For 200 yen, a person could buy a ticket which entitled them to sample food from far away lands. 
The countries represented at the International Lunch came from Peru, Columbia, the U.K., the United States, Bangladesh, Korea, Zambia, and China. The foreign fare was ravenously consumed by the hungry horde which represented the diverse international community in Morioka and the monies contributed to charity.
