The Bainbridge Japanese-American Exclusion Memorial wall is made of red cedar and winds down to the dock landing site. The wall also features artwork and the names of all 276 Japanese Americans who were exiled from the island. It also includes the moto: “Nidoto Nai Yoni” that translates to “Let it not happen again.”
