We had a very busy, yet fruitful past 3 days with Amezaiku Extraordinaire, Takahiro Yoshihara of Amezaiku Yoshihara.  We visited Dwight School early learning center on Thursday, then PS 198 Kindergarten Class on Friday.  Today was a double-header, with Lyceum Kennedy Japanese School, and Kumon-LIC in the afternoon.  It is always great to see children's faces light up, and this week was no different.

Now onto the main event at Japan Block Fair, Sunday October 19th.  As stated earlier, we will be at Upper West Side, Broadway between 93 & 94 to be exact.  He will bring his incomparable skills, as well as too pretty to eat candies.  If you want, you can ask him what you want, and Yoshihara san can work on it right there on the spot.

Along with our booth, there's several great booths providing awesome eats, items, and activities.  Japan Block Fair will start at noon and go on until 5pm.  We hope to see you tomorrow, you will be sure to have an "Ame"-zing time!

Date: Oct.19th (Sun.) Noon-5pm
Location: Broadway b/w 93-94th st., Manhattan
