The Japanese American Cultural and Community Center presents World Heritage in Japan photographic exhibit from Nov 6 - 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.
Kazuyoshi Miyoshi was born in 1958 in Tokushima Prefecture and graduated from Tokai University in 1981.
