Nikkei Traditions

On Saturday, August 28, we attended the Grand Opening of Nikkei Traditions in San Francisco's Japan Center

Some of Yoshiko's works are exhibited and are for sale there and she was invited as one of the represented artists to attend the grand opening ceremonies and reception that day. Here are some pictures taken at the event.

Here is Yoshiko standing near one of the windows where her small works are displayed

Yoshiko is reminiscing of the days when she played the koto with her sister in Japan
Yoshiko is standing inside the store near some of her works on display there

These are the real koto players providing music for the grand opening
These two strong men are making sure the sake barrel is full for the celebration

This is Kyle, one of the 4 owners, announcing the events and making introductions
The other owners have donned their hapi coats

The owners are breaking open the sake barrel. Let the activites begin!
CAMPAI !
