Ariana Serrano-Embree of Cowboy Kids and Tocu

Cowboy Kids was started as a project to be able to pass along vintage and gently worn kids clothing. There is so much wear left in a lot of things and so many clothes already circulating in our world. It feels good to be able to pass along something that was once loved and can be loved by many more to come. Ari will bring lots of tees, jeans, sweaters and other found items to share with kids in a range of sizes. Learn more on her Instagram.

Tocu was dreamed up by Ari and Surya as a way rework and recycle clothing into something new. We hand dye found tee shirts in our backyard, every garment is unique and made with care. We find vintage jeans (wranglers, Levi’s, lee’s) rework and cut them into kids sized elastic banded denim that is meant to be worn for a few years for each size and then passed along. Our clothing is meant for play and wear, so we also have patch kits to use to help keep the longevity going. Things can be worn and loved so much, and we want to keep that spirit going!

In collaboration with local non-profit organization, Japanese American Families for Justice we are hosting a Children’s Day Pop-Up event in celebration of AAPI Heritage Month! We will have various local AAPI vendors(food, gifts, art + more), a Taiko drum performance by Kristy Aki Oshiro, reading by Maggie Tokuda-Hall of Love in the Library, and an Arts & Crafts activity hosted by JAF4J!

Children’s Day (“Kodomo no Hi”)is a national Japanese holiday celebrated yearly on May 5th that brings families together to celebrate the healthy growth and happiness of children.

Traditionally this holiday is celebrated by displaying Koinobori, a carp-shaped windsock/or streamer (which started because of the Chinese legend that a carp that swims upstream becomes a dragon and flies to Heaven) which resembles a carp swimming in the wind. Typically a black-colored carp represents the father, a red or pink represents the mother, and a blue, green or sometimes orange represents each child. Miniature Japanese armor and helmets are also sometimes displayed to ward off evil spirits. Mochi cakes and sweet sticky rice filled wrapped in an iris bamboo leaf is also traditionally served during the celebration.

Other Asian cultures also celebrate “Children’s Day”, like Korea, Vietnam, Philippines and many more!

We hope you can join us!

This is a FREE event!
