JANM 8-14-15 Samurai Exhibit
I hope this post wets your appetite to go visit JANM - Japanese National Museum.
We purchased a family membership for 2015; but this summer our daughter is an intern there , so it gave us a well deserved impetus to visit more often even than we expected to.
JANM Entrance 8-14-15. Tanabata Flying in the front today. Next door too, has a whole host of them. We didn't get the chance to see more of the Tanabata, please come check it out for yourself.
But we did go inside for a look at the Samurai Exhibit.

Little Tokyo. Los Angeles, California. Saturday March 4 2015
Our weekend end jaunt found us in our familiar haunt. The Little Tokyo area of downtown Los Angeles, California.
For lunch we decided on Udon.
For lunch we decided on Udon.
Monzo Udon on 1st Street, makes the noodles in sight, on site, right before your eyes; it's very delicious. But I shouldn't tell you, cause it was already a bit of a wait for the table.
Of course we had to visit our teacher, Hirokazu Kosaka Sensei, at the JACCC -Japanese American Community Cultural Center on San Pedro.
Today's exhibit included Kado - Ikebana exhibits, plus the Shodo - Caligraphy and dolls from Hinamatsuri were still up.
After the exhibits we like to hang out at U-Space Cafe. The Cafe is inside the JACCC.
A great day in the community with friends and family. Thank you all!
Have a nice day.
