One of the staples of #SanFrancisco since 1906, #Japantown brings a small slice of Japanese culture to the city. This once bustling mall may soon be a part of history, with stores shuttering from the pandemic and a landlord unwilling to negotiate rent. Businesses are doing what they can to stay afloat, but it remains unclear what will become of the mall if the stores close for good — especially in the West Mall, home to Restaurant Row and various stores that sell uniquely Japanese products. 📸 @cameronleearchive 🖼 @loeb_lea 🔗 link in bio for full photo gallery
