This dark grey, rectangular, granite monolith and iron fence marks the twinning of Morioka, Japan, with Victoria, BC, on May 23, 1985.
Inscribed on the eastern side: "Placed here May 23, 1985. Commemorating the twinning of Morioka, Japan and Victoria and to the memory of Dr. Inazo Nitobe. Mayor Daizo Ota, Mayor Peter Pollen." In 1995, a plaque was installed, and it reads: "10th Anniversary of Twinning, Morioka, Japan, Victoria, Canada. May 23, 1995. Mayor Ohto, Mayor Cross."
