The Japanese American Cultural and
Community Center presents World Heritage in Japan
photographic exhibit from Nov 11 - Dec 5 at the JACCC's Doizaki
Gallery. Admission free. Gallery closed Mondays.
Heritage is
our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass
on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritages are
both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. The United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
selects key sites throughout the world as "World Heritage Sites"
that are considered to be of outstanding value to
humanity.
This
exquisite photographic exhibit, commissioned by The Japan
Foundation, displays Japanese World Heritage
structures selected by UNESCO. Beautifully photographed by
Kazuyoshi Miyoshi, this exhibit includes, Ryoan-ji Temple,
Kumano-Kodo Ancient Path and Horyu-Ji Temple.

Miyoshi was born in 1958 in Tokushima Prefecture and graduated from
Tokai University in 1981.
