Shoji Nishihata
Shoji was one of the Nikkei National Museum's most dedicated and beloved volunteers for over 24 years. His easy-going nature brought a lot of comfort and joy to those of us who worked with him, and rain or shine he came to help every week. His contributions to the museum were many, including drawing the Powell Street map and providing his family photographs for our Powell Street Monogatari exhibit and publication (2011).
Join us in paying tribute to Shoji by watching the documentary "Shoji" by Jon Chiang www.jonchiang.com/shoji. Our sincere condolences to Shoji's children James, Paul, and David, to his grandchildren, and to the Nishihata family and friends.
