Aki Matsuri wrap-up

Book fairs

We spent the weekend at Bellevue Community College taking part in Aki Matsuri, a festival of Japanese culture that seems to get bigger every year. It was a lot of fun meeting readers and prospective readers and checking out all the arts and crafts. This was the first event for our new intern, Josh Powell, and it was a serendipitous one because not only was he treated to scintillating conversation courtesy of me but he also made a discovery that probably wouldn't have happened if we weren't set up next to two Buddhist monks. Read about Josh's discovery on his blog. And see the man hard at work selling Chin Music wares behind the cut. (Plus, a rare appearance by my Dad checking out our booth, staffed by Yuko, Kimi, Kenzo and Kate).

Thanks to Takumi Ono of JungleCity.com for the above photo.
