Sakai-Kozawa Residence/Tokio Florist and Pole Sign

LOS ANGELES CONSERVANCY

The Sakai-Kozawa Residence/Tokio Florist is located at 2718 Hyperion Avenue in Silver Lake. The home and grounds are significant for their association with the Sakai-Kozawa family and their longtime floral business, Tokio Florist, which operated at this location from 1960 to 2006. 

In December 2018, the property was listed for sale, leaving its future uncertain. In June 2019, the Little Tokyo Historical Society nominated the building for local Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) recognition. The Conservancy helped prepare and supports the nomination.  On July 18, the Cultural Heritage Commission (CHC) voted in support to take the HCM nomination under consideration.
