Kansha Pasadena Annual Calendar
Kansha Pasadena strives to honor, preserve, and share the unique history and culture of Japanese Americans in the Greater Pasadena area by researching and documenting family histories, personal stories, cultural sites and historic buildings. These calendars serve as part timekeepers, part history keepers and part documentary.
Kansha was founded by longtime Pasadena resident Bryan Takeda. Takeda is extremely active in the Japanese American community as is evidenced by his extensive list of programs and organizations. He also worked as the first Program Director for the U.S.-Japan Council, under Irene Hirano Inouye from 2009 to 2012, and is most proud of their efforts in response to the great east Japan earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in March 2011.*
