This
is the story of 17 Japanese sailors, stranded at sea, rescued by an American
ship, and taken to San Francisco in 1851. Regarded as the first Japanese people
ever to reach these shores, they had many adventures on the Barbary Coast.
Their story is illustrated with wood block prints (some from the Asian Art
Museum) and historic photographs and drawings. Join Bob Oaks, docent and
author, for this insightful presentation.
