The inscription is in Japanese and reads, "Monument to console the souls of the dead." The inscription on the back reads "August 1943" and "erected by the Manzanar Japanese." The obelisk shrine currently is draped in strings of origami and has offerings of personal items left by survivers and visitors. The park service periodically itemizes and collects these items in order to gauge the changing feelings of visitors.
