Sansei Granddaughters’ Journey at the Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno

Sansei Granddaughters’ Journey, a show honoring the history of the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, will be on display through Sept. 3 at the AZ Gallery at the Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno. In 1942, the Tanforan race track became the temporary detention center for nearly 8,000 Japanese Americans until their transfer to Topaz, a WRA camp in Utah. Kathy Fujii-Oka, one of five third generation Japanese American artists, adjusts her Cherry Blossom Installation, a metaphor for her family, their nursery, and their years of incarceration they suffered during the war.
