Some 6,000 visitors scurried to the Japanese American National Museum on Sunday for the 2023 Oshogatsu Family Festival.
So popular was the event that at times, wait times approached an hour or more, and admission was briefly halted due to fire safety regulations.
“It was wonderful to see thousands of people celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with us,” said Ann Burroughs, president and CEO.
Above: In keeping with the theme, the busiest locations inside the museum were storytime groups and the crafting tables, where young visitors created their own bunny-ear hats, constructed paper carrots, and even learned how to fashion origami rabbits.

A full slate of attractions was held in the museum’s outdoor stage and courtyard, including music and taiko performances, improv comedy from Cold Tofu, mochi pounding and ceremonial calligraphy commemorating the new year.
Cold Tofu acted out fairy tales like “Cinderella” in a matter of seconds.
Above and below: Under the guidance of JANM volunteers Hal Keimi and Carol Osa Okuda, kids learned the basics of taiko drumming.
