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 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!

    This DVD arrived very quickly. It was shipped in a bubble mailer. I prefer movies to be shipped in boxes to ensure they are not damaged by those gorillas at the post office, but this movie arrived in good condition. Everything was as described. The film was in Italian audio with Korean subtitles as stated in the description. As a bonus, there were also Japanese subtitles. I was really happy to get the Korean version of this film for my collection at such a good price point. I couldn't pass it up
