Remarks:
Nearby plaque: "The Japanese stone lantern was a gift of Usaburo Tsujita of Tokyo, member of Edward Bok's staff from 1922 to 1925. The lantern, representing seven years of his savings, is placed within direct sight of the grave of Edward Bok as a tribute and symbolizes with its encircling doves, humanity's universal hope for world peace." The lantern was created in Japan and is made of "Nukame-ishi" stone. The lantern was relocated from the east side of the moat to the west side in 1986 and re-sited by landscape architect Osamu Shimizu.
