JACCC Ikenobo Exhibit March 2014

The JACCC has a lot of little displays here and there.
From the basement is access to their garden, and a garden room for banquets and events.
A great resource for the Japanese Community in Los Angeles.

Not so hidden on one trip was these beautiful flower arrangements in the lobby window.
Ikenobo can be very modern sometimes.
These two pieces, obviously be a great arranger, have both the past, present, and future displayed.

Ukelele at JACCC

On a recent trip to the JACCC the Ukulele shop caught my eye.
They even serve coffee.

They have classes and can repair other ukulele too I think.

Today in Little Tokyo

Of Course, I've seen the construction going on in Little Tokyo during each of our trips. But the equipment was working today on a Saturday. The extent of this construction really hit home this time. Look at all those apartments going up.

Though this will certainly add to the vitality of the area, I wonder who's gonna live here? Are there really this many people who want to live downtown? Soon, perhaps we'll be like Manhattan? There's good and no so good to be had in most these situations, I suppose. Let's try to keep this one focused on the good that can come of it, eh.

Also, just on the other side of these apartments, is the future proposed site of The Los Angeles Budokan. Now that, for me, will be really something.

Marugame Monzo

Though I really didn't intend to be a food critic. This blog was intended for dojo news, after all. But I did leave the name broad enough to include any s. California news for the Japanese Community.

After the Geffen at the Moca, in Little Tokyo Los Angeles, we ate at Marugame Monzo.

Udon, made fresh... Right before your eyes.

Of course for Udon, the soup is key too. But here too they did not disappoint.

Price was ok. Service was good considering lunch hour and limited seats. Well worth the wait, in any case, as far as I'm concerned.

LA Art Book Fair

In little Tokyo this weekend was the LA Art Book fair. Being a family of artists and book lovers, this was a great little Tokyo event for us.

The fair was at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. 

Artists are an interesting bunch of people, a lot of creativity to be seen. A pretty diverse presentation from vintage to modern. Publishers from across the country. Sexual enuendo and just strange and everything in between.
