Portland FLORIST - Kern Park Flower Shoppe

Fumi's Floral Shoppe

Kern Park Flower Shop is one of Portland’s longest running family-owned businesses. Enjoy this short film, "Fumi’s Floral Shoppe," which is the story of five generations of a family who have played their part in running this Portland institution, which began in 1915 – this year marking the 102nd anniversary. Integral to the story is 93-year-old Fumi Itami, a woman of Japanese descent and head of the family, who has seen the business through many changes and challenges, perhaps the most significant being the forced placement of Japanese-Americans into internment camps during WWII.
