Nippon Kan Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nippon Kan Theatre is a former Japanese theater and National Historic Place in Seattle, Washington, USA. Built in 1909, it was boarded up in 1942 during the Japanese American internment, but reopened in 1981. It is located in the Kobe Park Building at 628 S. Washington Street, in the former Japantown section of Seattle's International District. In 2005 it was sold to ABC Legal Services and was converted into a messenger office. Its closure has been attributed to the decreasing number of people of Japanese descent in Seattle. [1]
