I used to go to my Dad’s hometown summer matsuri all the time as a kid and since I recently helped out at my local Japanese American community’s matsuri, I’m missing it a little extra ❤️

I know there are better resources & these cards don’t have all the necessary info one might need if detained by 🧊 but the ILRC has 18 languages of Red Cards you can print for free. I printed & laminated at home but you can go to your library to print (cost not covered): www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta...
