Description |
The inscription on the memorials read: "The Japanese Garden on
Mirror Lake was originally conceived in 1970 with construction being
completed in 1972. The purpose was to create a place of beauty
and tranquility as well as commemorate the Sister City relationship
between Buffalo and Kanazawa, Japan. In 1996, the garden was
renovated and rededicated. This was made possible by a grant
from the commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition
(1970) Fund, the generous support of the people of Kanajawa and
Buffalo, and funds provided by the City of Buffalo." The second
stone is engraved with the names of 20 Japanese Garden donors.
