This project was designed to answer the question "Where were California's Japantowns outside of LA, San Francisco and San Jose? And what remains in those communities." This will be the first statewide effort to identify, research and document historic resources located in Japantowns throughout California. The project goal is to reclaim the stories of buildings and landscapes that made up California’s Nihonmachi, including dozens that declined and even disappeared following WWII internment. Preserving California’s Japantowns is sponsored by the California Japanese American Community Leadership Council and funded by the State Library’s CCLPEP program.
