Powell Street Japanese Festival Rocks!
Yumi and I took in the Powell Street Festival in Vancouver today and had a blast. It gets better and better over the years. It's so wonderful to revive "Japantown" for at least a weekend each year. The Issei and Nissei ancestors who used to populate this area of Vancouver would be proud!
The main stage
Love this recycling banner done traditional Japanese style
Bring on Sawagi Taiko - Canada's first women-only taiko group!
And now, the thrilling, exhausting Mikoshi!
