The Asia Heritage Foundation of Metropolitan Washington D.C. will have it’s Fifth Fiesta Asia Street Fair in Washington, DC on Saturday, May 22, 2010. We will have a booth (Booth C-14, near 3rd St & Pennsylvania Avenue NW — front side of Capitol Building) from 10:00AM to 7:00PM. We’ll have the  usual fare of our best vintage kimono, including haori & michiyuki, as well as our hand made scarves, accessories etc (from our vintage kimono fabrics). Also will have great supply of our vintage kimono fabric pieces (panels) — See venues page for pics & info.

2. Web Site Updates:

Dana still working on some small changes to the site home page and of course the vintage kimono fabrics mentioned earlier. To get a peek at some that will go up soon, please visit our Facebook page.

Quick note to thank all of you who came out to see us at the magnificent Brooklyn Botanic Garden(BBG) this past weekend. While it was indeed unseasonably hot, we were swamped and had a great festival and a fun time. Met alot of Yokodana’s old friends, fans and members, and met even more of you FTF whom we had not met in person — always a treat for us. A shout-out also to our growing Otaku ‘fans’, we love your energy and playfulness. Hope to see you at Otakon.

BBG is SO beautiful, and our location was perfect, ensconced as we were in the Magnolia Plaza. We were also impressed with the high quality of all the many cultural events that BBG has at their Sakura Matsuri, really a class act and we’re proud to be a part of the event.

We’re still resting and slowly catching up with things, and hope to resume fabric updates on the site soon. Our next venue is Saturday, May 22, 2010, in Washington DC, near the Capitol Building, at the Asian Heritage Foundation Festival. Details here a bit later.

FWIW TECH STUFF: Dana is playing with a new more visual look for the home page. Please take a look and if you have any critiques or suggestions (+ or – ), please send to Dana at:

In the past, it is input at times like this which has helped us maintain a user-friendly and well-placed Google presence for our web site over the years, and, we are always kind to those who help us out in any way.
