The "Japan" float features a torii gate at the front, followed by a bridge spanning a pond with water lilies, a pagoda and a nagare-zukuri style shrine. Three riders in Japanese dress are visible. The float was entered by East Pasadena and the Pasadena Japanese Community and is shown at the intersection of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd.
The theme of the 1932 forty-third annual Rose Parade was "Nations & Games in Flowers," looking forward to the 1932 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles
