A market celebrating Japanese culture and more
Japanology Fair originally began as a way to organize and share a vintage kimono collection. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant marketplace celebrating the beauty and charm of Japanese and multicultural traditions.
Vintage kimonos remain at the heart of the event, alongside crafts and distinctive finds from Japan and beyond. The fair also promotes recycling by giving vintage items another life, while creating opportunities for small businesses and local vendors to connect with the community.
Whether you’re interested in Japanese textiles, hunting for a one-of-a-kind collectible, or simply looking for something different to do this Halloween, the fair offers an opportunity to explore a different side of Southern California’s shopping scene.
