JACCC
Plaza
The Plaza was designed by world-famous sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi, a
native of Los Angeles. The one-acre open area was added to the overall JACCC
design at Noguchi's suggestion and is a valuable open space, hosting such events
as the annual Nisei Week Japanese Festival, the Hanamatsuri celebration of Buddha's
birth, memorial services for the dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a rousing Taiko
Festival in 1987 and the open air Kita Takigi (Torchlight) Noh in 1989.
The Plaza is available for rent. For more information,
contact Johnny Mori at 213-628-2725 or mori@jaccc.org

The
James Irvine Garden
The James Irvine Garden (Seiryu-en,
or Garden of the Clear Stream) is an oasis in the central
city. It was built in the tradition of Japanese Gardens
and covers a sloping, triangular area of 8,500 square
feet adjacent to the Center Building and the The George
& Sakaye Aratani Japan America Theatre. It was designed
by Takeo Uesugi, and was completed December 1979.
The garden received the prestigious National landscape
Award from the American Association of Nurserymen which
was presented by First Lady Nancy Reagan in cermonies
at the White House in 1981. This is the highest and
oldest national honor such a project can receive in
the field of environmental improvement and community
beautification.
May all who step into the garden find joy and a sense
of peace, harmony with nature and inspiration from the
indomitable spirit of the community pioneers.
