Urashima, who led the effort to preserve the Historic Wintersburg settlement, has died after a two-year battle with cancer. She was 62 years old.
Founded more than a century ago, Wintersburg Village in Huntington Beach was where three generations of Japanese Americans lived, worked and worshipped.
A four-alarm fire displaced five residents at a gated residential complex, while another damaged a building on the Wintersburg site, which has ties to early-1900s Japanese American history.
