San Jose JACL Virtual Manzanar Pilgrimage 2020

Our t-shirt was designed by Courtney Shojinaga who was inspired by the traditional Japanese embroidery style called Sashiko. Sashiko or "little stabs" traditionally uses white thread on indigo blue cloth to create geometric patterns. The design on the front of the t-shirt features the iconic monument at the Manzanar National Historic Site. The design on the back of the t-shirt features three women of color wearing their culture's traditional clothing with classic sashiko geometric patterns.
