NISEI WEEK is an annual festival celebrating Japanese American culture and history in
Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.
Nisei means "second generation," describing the first American-born Japanese, a group which the seven-day festival was originally meant to attract.
Although named for the
Nisei generation, Nisei Week is no longer targeted at
Niseis, nor is the festival still contained within a week. Nisei Week Foundation president for 2006, Michelle Suzuki, described the festival as "the opportunity for people of all backgrounds to celebrate Japanese heritage and culture" (
