A wide variety of Japanese culture, art, and fashion was featured during the latest edition of the Arizona Matsuri festival on Saturday, February 25, and Sunday, February 26. The annual two-day event, which celebrates anything and everything having to do with Japan, brought a multitude of vendors, artists, craftsman, performers, and cosplayers to Historic Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix.
