Post@Buchanan SF

At the corner of Post street and Buchanan there is a monument. At the center of Japan town.

It comemorates the 40 Japan towns there were in California before the forced internment during WW2.

Business brought me to LA for some time last year and I was very happy when I found a Japan town in LA. It reminded me of home (SF). I marveled at the similarities and was happy to find a civilized place amongst the sprawl of downtown LA. I love Tea, Matcha, sushi, ceramica, taiko and all that lovely stationary.



I had no idea the Japan Centers were so intimately linked. Of the 40 that exsisted before the war 3 now are left. San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles. They all have the same monument. My travels will soon bring me to San Jose. I have never visited the Japan town there.
