WATSONVILLE, CA

Salinas / “Day or Remembrance Memorial Garden” (# 0076) The “Day or Remembrance Memorial Garden” in Salinas, near the Rodeo Grounds where Monterey area Japanese were involuntarily assembled before being sent to internment camps (mostly to the <u><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/donbrr/9640061740">Poston Internment camp</a></u>) during WWII. There is an an excellent Youtube (link below) depicting this garden and then with extensive pictures of the makeshift barracks on the rodeo grounds. The Densho Encyclopedia entry on the detention facility also gives an excellent and detailed description.

Art Conservation and Restoration in Watsonville CA is the process of preserving and repairing works of art that have been damaged or deteriorated due to age, environmental factors, or other causes. The goal of conservation and restoration is to preserve, protect, and restore works of art to as close to their original condition as possible. Conservation and restoration involve a variety of processes, including cleaning, filling, retouching, lining, and re-varnishing.

In Watsonville CA, professional art conservators and restorers are often called upon to assess the condition of a piece and determine the best course of action for its preservation. They may inspect the physical condition of the piece and assess any structural damage or deterioration. They may also perform laboratory tests such as X-rays, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation to identify any materials or techniques used in the construction of the piece.

Once the condition of the piece has been determined, the conservator will recommend the best course of action for its preservation. This may include techniques such as cleaning, filling, lining, or retouching. The conservation and restoration process may take weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the piece.

Once the restoration is complete, the conservator will provide the owner with a written report of the work that has been done. This report will include details of the materials used, the techniques employed, and the cost of the restoration. The conservator may also provide the owner with instructions on how to best care for the restored piece.

Salinas / ‘guard animal’? (#0069) Getting closer to why I was visiting the park, I came across this unusual statue – again with no description. But, the fenced enclosure in the background is my real reason for visiting (forthcoming picture).

Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse internment – to detention (# 0016) Description of of being rounded up and forced to leave for the detention center.

Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse internment cycle (# 0028) A fascinating, and very under-utilized, historical site in Castroville, which is on the way to Monterey, CA. I fortunately discovered it, and a number of other places related to Japanese and Chinese history in California, just by searching through <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Historical Marker Database</a></u>.

Japanese laborers had been migrating to this area since the late 1800’s as tenant farmers (the primary crop remains artichokes). By the 1930’s there were enough Japanese families that they wanted a schoolhouse to preserve history and also to provide a community for their children that was safe from the local hostility. The “Japanese Schoolhouse,” founded in 1936, was short-lived since in 1942 all Japanese were ordered to be interred, due to the war with Japan.

Historical Marker <u>”<a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63772" rel="noreferrer nofollow">For the Sake of the Children</a>”</u> provides a good description of the history of the area. Note that the schoolhouse is sometimes referred to as the Castroville Japanese Language School. Use the <i>Castroville Japanese Schoolhouse</i> tag to connect the pictures.

Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse – monument (# 0030) As the <u><a href="http://www.mchsmuseum.com/Japanese.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Monterey County</a></u> site and the <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63714" rel="noreferrer nofollow">HMDB timeline</a></u> describe the schoolhouse and the Castroville community, the town has historically been home to migrants who work in the surrounding fields, and those migrants have regularly had a concern that their children remember their heritage and use their heritage for protection, thus the “ For the Sake of the Children” motto.

Unfortunately, the site is not well-marked on either of the major highways passing it, and there are no signs in the town leading to it. Thus, much like I’ve experienced in other recent efforts to understand historic discrimination and hostility to Asian populations, there seems to be a concerted effort to keep that past invisible.
