Era of Peace Brought These Gifts

Lantern, Tako-Gata Cherry trees Seward Park Yokohama Edwards, Mayor Frank Okamoto, Japanese Consul Suemasa Mount Baiker Park

A symbol of friendship between the U.S. and Japan is a stone lantern and cherry trees at Seward Park sent to Seattle from Japan for the city's help during the earthquake in Yokohama in 1923. Now these symbols stand as a mockery between the two nations because they are at war with each other. Two photographs showed these symbols.
