About Showa Alley
The Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute (GVJCI) is proud to present Showa Alley by the Shokudo with The Grateful Crane Ensemble. The Grateful Crane Ensemble has been a longtime community partner with a mission that pays tribute to the unique hardships and inspiring contributions of Japanese Americans in our country’s history and continues the traditions of our Japanese ancestry through educational and entertaining works of music and theater to the Nikkei and broader communities.
Come and experience a bit of Japan as the GVJCI breezeway is transformed into a yokocho! (Yokocho is Japanese for “alleyway,” but it has grown in meaning to refer to the narrow streets packed with izakayas, bars, and eateries tucked away in Japan's busy streets.)
Drawing inspiration from Japan’s post-war Showa era, you’ll be immersed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of a bustling Japanese alleyway brought to you by the team behind The Shokudo series.
Proceeds benefit the Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute and the Grateful Crane Ensemble.
