Bronze sculptures by Jim Gion at the Japanese American Historical Plaza Tom McCall Waterfront Park Portland Oregon

---

Two bronze sculptures by Jim Gion mark the entrance of the Japanese American Historical Plaza at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland Oregon. The sculptures show, in bas-relief, the history of the Japanese and their descendants beginning with their immigration in 1880. The award-winning plaza, designed by renowned landscape architect Robert Murase, commemorates that history and tells the story of their unlawful incarceration and internment during World War II.
