It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, （ I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ） and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ？". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. （ I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but ）

Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei （ MIKADO ）

Before JANM was established, the location was home to the Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple

？
The neighborhood was a Japantown in 1961 when I was a permanent resident The owner of FIRST STREET SCHOOL, HOLLENBACK JUNIOR HIGH, ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL and Yagura Ichiban was also a neighbor.
EIGIKU RESTAURANT's son Roy is probably over 80 years old. ？
Safety Hardware Store, there used to be next to Sumitomo Building. Horikawa, Tokyo Kaikan, a woman who worked there was killed
I remember ？ Matsuzakaya, do you remember ？ there was a furniture shop too.
The Japanese town was in ruins then, but I guess it is the same now ？ Japanese people will not go there.

Another place you might be able to look up is at the city hall or the library, though Rafu would probably be the fastest.

I know the guy who built that place, though we've been living apart for a long time now. He is Taiwanese.

住所から現在の都ホテルのある場所ですね。ホテルが立つ前に何が有ったか思い出せないなあ。やはり2-3階建てのビルだったともいます。半地下になっていて札幌ラーメンが入っていたと思うのですが。オハヨーホテルと言うのはOhio Hotel の事です。あの辺りには小さなホテルが沢山有り、日本から来た人たちが住む場所が決まるまで泊まっていたりそこから仕事を探したりにぎやかだったようですよ。ちなみに向かい側に帝ホテルが有りそこから花屋さんの名前を取ったのかな？

Is it near the giant mural of Otani ？ You should ask a Japanese TV company if they can make it into a documentary ？.
