Little Tokyo

We had lots of fun at Little Tokyo yesterday. First, we checked out the Isamu Noguchi exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum. Isamu Noguchi was a Japanese-American who produced a groundbreaking body of work that encompassed multiple disciplines to break down the barriers between sculptural art and functional design. In addition to the Noguchi exhibit, the museum also has a permanent piece on the Japanese-American experience, mainly with forced internment and assimilation.

After the museum we went across the street to the Little Tokyo Village Plaza to check out the shops and snack stores. We bought some freshly baked Imagawa Yaki (sweet red-bean pancake sandwich) and some mochi from Mikawaya Bakery. Both yummy with some hot green tea!
