New Exhibition Opening The Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center celebrates the 20th year of the Japanese American Historical Plaza in 2010 with an exhibit featuring the history and story of how the Plaza came to be. Dedicated in August of 1990, the poetry of Lawson Inada, among others, combines with the stunning and thoughtful design of landscape designer Robert Murase and sculpture of Jim Gion to form not only a place of respite within the city, but also a place of remembrance, and a place to both acknowledge and educate.
