Japanese Shrine
The Japanese Shrine is a Shinto shrine in Kolonia, the capital of Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. It is a concrete structure, about 8 by 4 feet (2.4 m × 1.2 m) and 10–12 feet (3.0–3.7 m) in height. It is set on a raised platform accessed by a small flight of concrete steps, and has a steeply-pitched gable roof. The shrine was built in the 1920s, when Pohnpei was part of the Japanese-administered South Pacific Mandate, and stands in what was then the grounds of the school erected by the Japanese for the education of Japanese dependents living on the island. It is one of the surviving reminders of the Japanese administration of Pohnpei, and its segregationist practices.
