(Courtesy of the architect)  | The exhibition is intended to honor the legacy of Hayahiko Takase and the contribution that he has made to the visual landscape of Downtown Los Angeles, in defining Little Tokyo as a unique and changing place that has stood the test of time, blending art, tradition and the spirit of more than just two cultures.
The exhibit will also display Takase's architectural work and a model of his current project, the Budokan, the sports and recreation center to be built in Little Tokyo.
There will be some of his shikishi (card board) art, too.
In addition to the exhibition there will be a number of informal talks by Mr. Takase as well as several walking tours of the buildings in Little Tokyo.
