Japantown--one \u003cbr\u003eof only three left in this country--began as Nihonjinmachi, or \"Japanese People's Town,\" after the first Japanese arrived here in 1869. As their numbers increased, institutions arose to serve them, including churches, schools, and various civic and social organizations. The \u003cbr\u003epopulation drifted through various parts of the city and finally settled in the Western Addition after the 1906 earthquake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531616717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Japantown Task Force","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38211390505141,"sku":"9781531616717","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d13151c9-ccae-43b2-9015-00bf3a7414b5.jpg?v=1610429939","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/san-franciscos-japantown-9781531616717","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
