The 2nd Japan festival in NYC was held last Saturday at W 71st St and Columbus Ave. There were plenty of food vendors and things to see. This year's festivity Grand Marshall was Kristi Yamaguchi. The food I tried was a Spicy Chicken Misukastu Bun at Wasan Brooklyn food stall. There was a wait line but "sketch waiting" was my companion until it was my turn at the register. Three men working the stall: Toshi at the register, Kaku and Marvin manning the "kitchen". Shortly after, I took a walk toward the grandstand and I was happy sketching the scene before me.
These sketches really give the viewer a feel for the energy of the festival. I think I would have enjoyed being there too.
