Angel’s wish was to have a Mardi Gras-themed Celebration of Life in which no one wore formal black funeral attire, but rather the Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, or gold. The family has since added “Angel red” and Japanese hapi coats. Or just come in anything you feel comfortable, it’s going to be a PARTY not a funeral… This is a COMMUNITY EVENT and everyone is invited to share in SPIRIT CULTURE COMMUNITY as we celebrate the life of Angel Nishinaka, the “matriarch” of the Nishinaka / Itomura family…
A CHANCE TO DANCE… We are having a “Mardi Gras ONDO” !!!! The Mardi Gras Party following the service will include singing, dancing, and performances, a true COMMUNITY EVENT that all are welcome to JOIN and PARTICIPATE. A Skidrow-kyo / Little Tokyo Dance Club Mardi Gras Ondo complete with Ondo dancing, Taiko performances, open Mic Karaoke, etc. Join us on the dance floor or enjoy the festivities from afar (guaranteed spectacle to watch.) Please feel free to invite others, this is a COMMUNITY EVENT and ALL are WELCOME to attend.. Please help US in fulfilling one of our Matriarch’s final wishes, a PARTY where EVERYONE shares in SPIRIT CULTURE COMMUNITY… Needless to say, our send-off for our mom, grandma, and great-grandma will be as unique as she was…
