Photo Info
Found in the Back Bay Fens, Boston MA
Just between the Rose Gardens and the Museum of Fine Arts is a modest marker under a large shade tree. Atop a simple granite pedestal is a large temple bell - the plaque reads:
Temple Bell From Japan
Cast in 1675
Brought to the City of Boston
by the Officers and Men of
the United States Ship Boston
With the Blessing of the Manpukuji Temple-Sendai
as a Symbol of Friendship
and a Bond of Peace
Even mounted on a granite block, it still sounds rich and resonant...
