Japanese Canadian War Memorial, War memorial in Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada.
The memorial features a 34-foot limestone column topped with a Shinto pagoda lantern and stands on a granite base with carved petals.
The Canadian Japanese Association unveiled this memorial in 1920 to honor 190 Japanese Canadian soldiers who served in World War I, with 54 losing their lives.
The memorial combines Canadian and Japanese architectural elements, including a classical fluted column and traditional Shinto pagoda design, representing both cultural heritages.
Located on the south side of Lumbermens' Arch Picnic Area in Stanley Park, the memorial stands near the Vancouver Aquarium and walking paths.
The lantern atop the memorial remained dark from 1941 until 1985, when World War I veteran Sergeant Masumi Mitsui relit it during a special ceremony.
