Kaiju vs. Heroes
Japanese American National Museum
Back in September, Dad's friend Mark Nagata displayed much of his prized Ultraman collection at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, L.A..
This unique exhibit will run through March of next year, and reveals how Nagata came to understand his family history and who he is through his collecting. The exhibit included many representations of
Mark's collection, a short video chronicling how he became passionate about Ultraman that led to his career in art, and a video game where the player can become a monster (Eyezon) and rampage through a
city street.
