Nisei Week Festival

Nisei Week is the annual Japanese American community festival in downtown Los Angeles (Little Tokyo). Today we spent a couple hours wandering among some of the community booths, arts and crafts vendors, and meeting some friends we haven't seen in a while. Some of the cultural displays included a bonsai exhibit and calligraphy, and the "Nebuta" float (that rode in last week's Nisei Week parade). Hikaru enjoyed meeting the Nisei Week mascot, "Aki" the Akita (dog).
