Japan in the Desert: A New Mexico Festival

Japan in the desert? Yup, that's what caught my eye with this festival news from New Mexico. It’s always fascinating to see how Japanese culture blooms in unexpected places.

This particular Fall Festival sounds like it was all about sharing – which is just so cool. It wasn't just a local event; it became a vibrant space for Japanese-Americans, like Shizuko who recently moved there, to connect and celebrate. It’s super neat to see how these events become melting pots, connecting people and keeping traditions alive far from home. It's that beautiful blend of old and new, local and global, that always gets me.
