New Inouye Park feature shares Surrey’s Japanese Canadian history

A bronze mailbox at Surrey’s Inouye Park tells the story of Zennosuke Inouye, the park’s namesake. The city unveiled the artwork to recognize the contributions of early Japanese Canadians in Surrey.

Artist Kellen Hatanaka created the piece, titled Konjou. The city says the mailbox represents home, land ownership and the farming community that once existed in Strawberry Hill.
