Russell Wilson Brings Ciara as Obamas Host State Dinner For Japan.

 US President, Barack Obama’s state dinner for the prime minister of Japan offered guests a haiku, some R&B and the specter of chopsticks — for those brave enough to go there.
Shinzo Abe was the guest of honor, He was welcomed with a toast by Obama, with a poem about spring, friendship and harmony, declaring himself the first president to recite a haiku at a state dinner.
Abe, in return, went with R&B: He quoted the classic song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” to convey the strength of the bonds between the U.S. and Japan.
First lady Michelle Obama found another way to pay tribute to the guest nation, wearing a purple, sleeveless gown by Japanese-born designer Tadashi Shoji.
With fewer than 200 guests, it was Obama’s smallest state dinner, and it had a decidedly low celebrity quotient.

“Star Trek” luminary George Takei was back for his first state visit since the Clinton administration. TV powerhouse Shonda Rhimes, mastermind of the hit shows “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal,” was a first-timer.
Asked about her chopstick skills, Rhimes waggled her hand uncertainly. Takei, by contrast, said he’d grown up with chopsticks.
Takei’s husband, Brad, wondered what the big deal was.
“Is that exotic for the White House?” he asked.
Anyway, no worries: There was flatware for those wanting to play it safe.
