Memorial Bench

This memorial bench was purchased in memory of Mrs. Tomoko Yamamoto, noted Japanese flower arranger and instructor. It was dedicated on May 20, 1967 during the formal visit of the Japanese Governor to the Iowa Capitol. Members of the Federated Union of Clubs of Iowa donated the funds for the bench. It is located on the Iowa State Capitol Complex and is part of the Monuments and Memorials Tour in Des Moines.
