JANM volunteers are hosting the Kokoro Craft Show on October 20th

Japanese American National Museum (JANM) volunteers will host the 2024 Kokoro Craft Show with over 60 vendors at the museum on Sunday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m

Kokoro is a Japanese word meaning heart, mind and soul. The first craft fair was a volunteer-led fundraiser for JANM during a national economic downturn in 2009. Now in its 16th year, this annual craft fair is a free in-person event featuring fashion, clothing and accessories, jewelry, ceramics, gifts, and more .

There will also be performances by Sunset Jive at 10:30 a.m. and Bombu Taiko at 12:30 p.m

Shoppers who spend $25 receive 10% off at local restaurants.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of JANM and proceeds benefit JANM’s cultural, educational and volunteer programs. In conjunction with the craft exhibition, entry to the museum is free all day.

JANM is located at 100 N. Central Ave. (on First Street) in Little Tokyo. For more information about the Kokoro Craft Show, visit kokorocraftshow.com or email [email protected]. Keep up with the craft show on Facebook and Instagram.
