Nisei Week Part 1

One of the many performers for Nisei Week!

Some finds from my favorite J-Town store Bunkado. A vintage animal stamp set - the stamp pad is in a tin case! And a couple of Japanese iron-on patches.


A Taiko drumming perfomance at the Tofu Festival.

Our reflection in the bank window as we were standing in the ATM line.

It was a fun and full day today as Nisei Week kicked off! It was cool to see 10 times as many people than we would normally see on a Saturday in J-Town. First, Phil and I went to get some lunch at Nijiya market. We stood in the Village Square for a moment and watched what can only be described as the Japanese Beach Boys perform. Then off to our usual Anime shops, gift shops, and cruising around the various booths at the Tofu Festival.

More tomorrow....
