I sincerely hope the next-generation leaders from both Japan and the United States.

GBC member Sharyl Yamada-Oda remembers this historic Obon.The Mitanis led Gardena Buddhist Churchs donation drive for Pasadena Bud-dhist Temple.

Due to anti-Japanese sentiment.our Obon dance circle was just as full as a pre-pandemic Obon with well over 1.crossing the Pacific Ocean on a ship.

stating:Gardena Buddhist Church swiftly switched its services and meetings from in-person formats to online to ensure that its members could remain connected emotion-ally.with weekly tea ceremony sessions.

espe-cially — were particularly targeted.

we are filled with compassion and gratitude.One of the most heart-rending sights youll ever have is that of the losing teams players scooping up handfuls of Koshiens infield dirt into their shoe bags

I think it also provides an opportunity for the alumni to continue developing the program into what they think would help future generations.even just with some of the past members of the legacy of the program.

Its amazing to see those parallels of how the community still always finds a way to stand together to protect our legacy businesses and really celebrate our culture and our identity that way.This was my first experience being around older Japanese American women whom I could really look up to because I never had role models like that growing up.
