Kobe Bell Meditation Garden


Installed: 1962

Description: The city of Kobe, Japan gave the City of Seattle this gift in 1962 in honor of the World's Fair. In 1961, the City of Seattle gave Kobe a Native American Totem Pole, which stands next to Kobe City Hall and serves as the symbol of the sister city relationship, which began in 1957 -- Seattle’s first sister city. In January 2002, the Bell was rededicated with a Shinto re-purification ceremony after renovation work was completed on the frame and base of the structure.
