Tomorrow marks the start of the 80th #NiseiWeek Japanese Festival! It's a showcase of #Japanese cultural events, activities and exhibits, including music, entertainment and food. We hope you're able to attend, enjoy, and share your photos with us! niseiweek.org

#Obon (#お盆) is a #Buddhist event for honoring one's #ancestors whose spirits return to this world to visit relatives. As Obon ends, #lanterns are put in water bodies to guide spirits back to their world. *Info from japan-guide.com #culture #Japanese #灯籠流し #盆踊り

Our lotus bloomed and they're absolutely stunning! In Japanese culture, each flower has its own cultural significance. The @lotus symbolizes enlightenment and purity. In Tokyo, the famous place to view lotus is Ueno Park's Shinobazu. No need to fly to Japan... you can visit ours!

Heat waves are particularly rough on our garden. Shout-out to our gardeners for keeping the garden healthy and the DCT plant staff for continuing to produce high quality #recycledwater that keeps everything alive. #heat #valley #sfv #losangeles #japanesegarden #drought
