If anybody finds themselves in the Los Angeles area this weekend (Dec. 1st and 2nd), the 28th Annual Japan Expo (www.japanexpo.org) will be going on at the L.A. Convention Center.
This year's theme is "Japanese Aesthetics and Art" and some of the highlights will be the doll maker Jusaburo Tsujimura, the Yoshida Brothers rocking their shamisen, and the Shinobinoshu performance troupe doing a small-scale re-enactment of one of the clashes between the Uesugi and Takeda.
There will also be booths of all kinds - I know Samurai Store, Inc. (www.samurai-store.com) will be there with about a half dozen repro armors, and they'll also be bringing an artisan from Marutake Sangyo (the manufacturer) to do a demo on armor construction.
