Description

Join us as we honor the legacy of Bill and Sam Naito with an exhibition focusing on the history, work and legacy of the two Portland brothers. This exhibit features historic family potographs and ephemera in addition to archival images from our collection. Scheduled to run through January 10, 2010.

Bill and Sam Naito – A Portland Story focuses on the establishment of the family business in 1920 by their father Hide, being "thrown out" of Portland during the forced resettlement of Japanese Americans during World War II, the reestablishment of the business, and ultimate success of their many ventures.
