San Francisco Obon

Celebrating 75 years of obon in North America!











Syl, Mike, Matt, Yurika, Arn, and I go to San Francisco for the big event.

As well as dancing & eating, there's also some taiko! Here's the new star of Kagami-kai:

Hm. I like mochi. Why don't we pound mochi? Taiko & snacks, all at once!

Coming next: Guest Blogger Franco and his shocking tales from Japan!
