Celebrating the Japanese-American Experience in San Jose
This year marks the 33rd Annual Nikkei Matsuri. Back in 1976 the City of San Jose approached the Japanese-American community and asked them to hold an event, which became the Nikkei Matsuri. I wonder if they thought it would grow to be so BIG?
