Chrysanthemums and Salt

A deep exploration of the Japanese American community in San Mateo, California, from its late 1800s origins to the outbreak of World War II. Dianne Fukami dives into the two major industries that employed Japanese Americans before the war, growing and marketing chrysanthemums and salt companies that took advantage of the region’s natural suitability for salt evaporation ponds.
