Celebrating San Francisco Japantown's 100th AnniversaryIn 2006, the San Francisco Japantown community celebrated its centennial in the Western Addition. Many community events were tied to this celebration throughout the year, including the "100 Years of Culture & Traditions Workshop Series." JCCCNC was proud to be part of this celebration as San Francisco's Japantown is one of three Japantowns remaining in California with the other two located in Los Angeles and San Jose. Visit www.sfjapantown100.org. New Landmark in Japantown San FranciscoThe California Japantown Landmark was unveiled at a public dedication ceremony on June 2, 2005 at San Francisco 's Japantown Peace Plaza. The three-sided 9' tall landmark is now stands proudly to the entrance of the Peace Plaza. The goal of the California Japantown historical landmark project entitled, " From Injustice to Redress, " is to create a powerful and emotional permanent outdoor historic exhibit in each of the three remaining historic Japantowns in the State of California (San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles), which will capture the hopes and struggles of the Japanese American community. These exhibits will provide the millions of visitors to these remaining Japantowns, the opportunity to learn about and gain a better understanding of the history and challenges of the Japanese American community in California by viewing the actual sites where such activities and tragedies such a such as the forced mass evacuation and government initiated redevelopment has taken place.
