Summary: On a tiny plot of land where Etting Road meets Pleasant Valley Road in Oxnard, grave markers stick up from behind a protective wrought iron fence. Some look like traditional gravestones, but most are obelisks. This is the historic Japanese cemetery of Oxnard, where the first burial took place in 1908, the last in 1960. It may be a graveyard, but its story has little to do with death and everything to do with life.
