BAINBRIDGE ISLAND JAPANESE AMERICAN MEMORIAL
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA
The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial is a monument located in Bainbridge Island, Washington, that commemorates the Japanese-American citizens who were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to internment camps during World War II. The memorial is located on the site of the former Eagledale Ferry Dock, which was the departure point for many Japanese-Americans who were sent to internment camps.
The memorial consists of a wooden pavilion with a traditional Japanese roof, surrounded by a garden and a wall that displays the names of the 227 men, women, and children who were removed from the island in 1942. The pavilion contains a granite plaque with the names of the Bainbridge Island Japanese-American families who were interned, as well as a bronze sculpture that depicts a young girl holding a suitcase, symbolizing the forced relocation.
The memorial was designed by architect Johnpaul Jones and artist Gerard Tsutakawa and was dedicated on August 6, 2011, the 66th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial serves as a reminder of the injustices that occurred during World War II and honors the resilience and strength of the Japanese-American community.
