Inscription:
"Harmony"
Created by Japanese American artist, George Tsutakawa, is dedicated to the memory of over 7,600 people of Japanese ancestry who were imprisoned on the fairgounds from April to September of 1942.
This sculpture is a column made of dark bronze. Figures of men, women, and children are cut in silhouette into the sides of the column. The negative, open spaces form interesting patterns that shift as one examines the column from various angles.
"I wanted to depict people of all races and creeds living in harmony. Then these sad things won't be happening over and over again."
George Tsutakawa August 21, 1983
