Lonely Planet review

Patriotism of Japanese immigrants to the US during WWII is remembered at this triangular plaza with inscriptions commemorating such sentiment. The centerpiece of the grounds is a statue depicting two cranes bound with barbed wire. It is meant to symbolize the battle to overcome prejudice against Japanese-Americans in the decades following the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.
