The Little Tokyo district n Los Angeles was battered by the recession of the 1990s in both California and Japan. Hopes for revival of the district rest with promotion of the expanded Japanese American National Museum and its performances.
Aju Sogabe will create a 3x30 art work for the Pike Place Market to tell the story of the Japanese American farmers at Pike Place who were evicted from their land and businesses during WWII. It will be called Song of the Earth.
