Description

"Combining in-depth research on historic places, personal memories drawn from oral histories of Japanese Americans, and striking vintage photographs, Sento at Sixth and Main: Preserving Landmarks of Japanese American Heritage explores the previously undocumented built environment and cultural landscape associated with once familiar aspects of Japanese American Life - community halls, farms, lumber camps, temples, schools, hospitals, midwiferies, bowling alleys, and the Japanese-style public bathhouses known as sento. By calling attention to ten places significant in Japanese American heritage on the West Coast, and presenting evidence of the vast array of resources that await further study, Sento at Sixth and Main makes a convincing case for protecting the remaining landmarks."--BOOK JACKET.
