On Saturday, July 20, Acting Consul General Jimmy Kishimori joined the Mountain View Buddhist Temple’s 2024 Obon Festival & Bazaar, giving remarks and joining in Bon dancing. It was great to see Mountain View City Councilmember Ellen Kamei, NBC Bay Area’s Mike Inouye, and people from all over the South Bay come out to celebrate this Japanese & Japanese American cultural tradition.
The event featured two days of Bon dancing, taiko performances, cultural displays and activities, and FOOD!
Thank you MVBT for inviting us!
