The
San Francisco Japantown Japanese American History Walk will integrate
interpretive signage, historical business/organization building
plaques, and Japanese American History Walk icons highlighting points
of historical and cultural significance to the Japanese and Japanese
American community throughout San Francisco’s Japantown (Nihonmachi). A public project funded by the State of California
Proposition 40 Bond measure (The California Clean Water, Clean Air,
Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002), it
creates permanent historic and educational markers in a combination
of private and public areas of San Francisco’s Japantown.
Ultimately, the History Walk will engage, educate and enrich
visitors, making Japantown a place for discovery, exploration,
validation, inspiration and recognition. ››For more information contact Paul Osaki.
