3. JAM_191002_49.JPG: Nina Akamu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nina Akamu (born 1955) is a Japanese-American artist known for her sculpture. She is presently living in Rhinebeck, New York. ... Memorial to Japanese-American Patriotism in World War II Akamu's creation of the statue on the Memorial to Japanese-American Patriotism in World War II, shows two Grus japonensis birds. This work is located at Louisiana Avenue and D Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. The memorial commemorates Japanese American war involvement, veterans and patriotism during World War II, as well as those held in Japanese American internment camps. Akamu's grandfather, on her mother's side, was arrested in Hawaii during the internment program. He was sent to a relocation camp on Sand Island in Pearl Harbor. Suffering from diabetes upon his internment, he died of heart failure three months into his imprisonment. This family connection, combined with growing up for a time in Hawaii where in the early 1960's she fished with her father in the lochs of Pearl Harbor and the erection of a Japanese American war memorial near her home in Massa, Italy, inspired a strong connection to the memorial and its creation.

Wikipedia Description: National Japanese American Memorial To Patriotism During World War II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Japanese American Memorial To Patriotism During World War II is national memorial in Washington, DC honoring the loyalty and courage of Japanese Americans during World War II and commemorating the heroism and sacrifice of Japanese Americans who fought and died for their country. It was authorized by federal statute (PL 102-502) and signed into law by President George H. W. Bush on October 24, 1992. The 0.76 acre site was transferred from the Architect of the Capitol to the Park Service in 1996. The Memorial was dedicated in 2000 and ownership of the Memorial was transferred to the United States Government in 2002. The National Park Service has the responsibility to maintain the Memorial. The project for the Memorial was initiated in 1988 by the "Go For Broke" National Veterans Association Foundation. The name of this organization was later changed to the National Japanese American Memorial Foundation (NJAMF).

The memorial is centered around a bronze sculpture of a crane with barbed wire by Nina Akamu. It also contains a bell modeled after a Japanese temple bell and a Zen garden-like pool of water with boulders representing the islands of Japan.
