This time we asked for the image that was on the front page of the local Japanese language newspaper on 11/15/1923. The image is the one you see above.
It was easy to find if you know that the local Japanese language newspaper is called Rafu Shimpo and that the library has access to its archive of issues. Rafu Shimpo is the longest running Japanese American newspaper in the United States and is based in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles. It began in 1903 and by the 1940s it was the most widely circulated paper in the region and included a weekly English section for second generation Japanese Americans. The Digital Archive contains all obtainable Rafu Shimpo published issues from 1914 through 2018 and includes access to rafu.com for current issues. You’ll find it listed alphabetically under R on LAPL’s Research & Homework page and can access it with your library card
