Synopsis
In 1884, a Japanese sailor named Hamanosuke Shigeta made his way to the eastern section of downtown Los Angeles and opened Little Tokyo's first business, an American-style caf. By the early 20th century, this neighborhood on the banks of the Los Angeles River had developed into a vibrant community serving the burgeoning Japanese American population of Southern California. When Japanese Americans were forcibly removed to internment camps in 1942 following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' entrance into World War II, Little Tokyo was rechristened "Bronzeville" as a newly established African American enclave popular for its jazz clubs and churches. Despite the War Relocation Authority's opposition to re-establishing Little Tokyo following the war, Japanese Americans gradually restored the strong ties evident today in 21st-century Little Tokyo--a multicultural, multigenerational community that is the largest Nihonmachi (Japantown) in the United States., In 1884, a Japanese sailor named Hamanosuke Shigeta made his way to the eastern section of downtown Los Angeles and opened Little Tokyo s first business, an American-style cafe.

That was very appreciated, thank U; Also, it was reasonably priced, thus making it affordable; Mailed in a bubble-wrap envelope, & the item was in shrink-wrap; The appearance was pristine! Thanks 4 making it available; Smooth transaction! God Bless U!!! :)
- e***r (2730)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI received this item right on time. IF it was a little slow to get here, that's a matter for USPS, NOT the seller. It was worth the very brief wait, since it came as described: Brand New! That was very appreciated, thank you. Also, it was reasonably priced, thus making it affordable; Mailed in a bubble-wrap envelope, and the item was pristine! Thanks for making it available; Smooth transaction!
- 2***b (592)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis was as pictured. The other item in the same shipment was not the edition and cover ordered and I was very disappointed about that. Looking at other recent reviews it seems other buyers have the same complaints - they send you any old cover and not the one you wanted and chose specifically because of their photo. Second frequent comment is true too - very flimsy packaging, but the books were fine. I'd say if you want a specific cover do NOT order from this seller. Otherwise fine.
