Japanese Language School in SoCal

http://www.kyodosystem.org/

The Kyodo System runs a set of Japanese Language Schools. All campuses have classes for kids, and some have classes for adults too.

My daughter went to Rafu Chuo Gakuen from 3 years old to 18 years old almost every Saturday. From Preschool through High School.

The PJCI, where we have our kyudo classes on Saturday Night also hosts the Pasadena Gakuen. Another Kyodo System School.

Full moon 2-16-2014

A very bright full moon greeted me this morning as I opened the front door.

Sushi in Padadena

Had Sushi at 0-2 Sushi in Pasadena.
Eastside of Old Town Pasadena across the street from the mall.
$3.00 weekend parking behind the restaurant. Cash Only though for Parking

No Combos or specials on weekends ):
The ability to roll, and the rice itself, were just ok;
But the quality of the fish and ingredients were superb.
Price was mid to high range, but the quality of the ingredients makes it worthwhile.
I'll go back.

The PJCI - Pasadena Japanese Cutural Institute is where I spend my Saturday nights doing Kyudo - Japanese Zen Achery.

LA Arboretum - Ikebana Classes

The LA Arboretum is another beautiful garden to visit in Southern California.


http://www.arboretum.org/

One of the great reason for the Japanese Community to be involved there is that they have almost weekly Ikebana Classes.
