Portrait of a little Japanese girl in a Kimono… during the 68th Annual Nisei Week in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles
Nisei Week Japanese Festival, an annual festival celebrating Japanese American (JA) culture and history in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Nisei means 2nd generation in Japanese, describing the first American born Japanese, a group which the seven day festival was originally meant to attract. Though named for the Nisei generation, Nisei Week is no longer targeted at Niseis, nor is the festival still contained within a week. Nisei Week Foundation president for 2006, Michelle Suzuki, described the festival as “the opportunity for people of all backgrounds to celebrate Japanese heritage and culture”. (from wikipedia)
The 68th Annual Nisei Week took place on August 16-24th, 2008 and I was there to capture most of the activities of the event. The event also served as a costume party where 90% of the people who came to Little Tokyo, Los Angeles would wear all sort of Japanese tradition or comic costumes.
However, after looking thru all the pictures that I took that day, I believe that this picture captured the heart of the event.
