it carried across America and beyond.

With my amazing community based team – Mariko Lochridge.Ive come to realize that Little Tokyos strengths lie in the people that have created it and continue to breathe life into it.

I tried to savor my tamago toji udon.Our Little Tokyo traditions and legacy businesses have shaped my life.Toyo Miyatake was famous for bravely smuggling a camera lens into Manzanar during WWII and taking photos in secret.

When I asked him how Little Tokyo has changed over those years.We must do whatever we can to make sure that we do not lose more of them.

many legacy businesses remain open.

Mariko Lochridge challenges Little Tokyo Explorers to compare archive phtographs to the real-life First Street.In order to help defray the expenses of the event.

we would greatly appreciate any monetary contribution that you may be able to send us.will remember his experiences in camp and how he was affected by his imprisonment and resettlement after his release.
