Grandpa Cherry Blossom(2023)
The life of Francis Uyematsu, from his journey creating a successful flower nursery in America to his time at the Manzanar Internment Camp
Grandpa Cherry Blossom Synopsis
The story of Francis Uyematsu, a Japanese immigrant, told through the words of his granddaughter, Mary Uyematsu Kao, and Chuck Currier, a local historian and former teacher. Uyematsu created a booming flower nursery, owning 120 acres of land in Manhattan Beach until the Japanese-American Internment during World War II, when he was forced to sell his land. Entire neighborhoods now sit on his former land, including hundreds of homes and two high schools. And the flowers he created are no longer his.
